Question of legitimacy

COULD assistant Chief Constable George Hamilton kindly explain what he means by denying legitimacy to SE Antrim UDA on the one hand and giving legitimacy to the UDA itself by asserting that it does not accord legitimacy to SE Antrim DA. surely the democratically established police force should not give any form of recognition to an unelected, self-appointed organisation engaged, as found by the judiciary, to be engaged in criminal activity.
