^ Exactly. "But we tried to prevent it, and it was cleaned up after it happened!" doesn't cut it for the council. Even though they tried to prevent it, it still happened, and a lot of civilians got hurt. Remember that Ruby specifically said "a lot of people were hurt."

That, and they probably looked over what happened and thought "Wait wait wait, you sent a team of first-years after a notoriously violent terrorist organization? Are you insane?" In hindsight, no matter how badass Team RWBY is, that does actually sound kind of unprofessional. Sending a team of full-fledged hunters likely would've yielded better results, but Ozpin bent the rules and sent a team of huntresses-in-training who are in their first year of their Level 2 academy education. If you ask me, as far as the council is concerned, that was irresponsible.
