They overstepped their bounds, it is time to rein them in.
I would kind of wander if this behavior of the counsels is not why Grimms have a rep for taking heads now and asking questions later. Or how branding G in some wesen came about. If I had a group who was ordering deaths and not following their own rules hiding among a group I could see I might delay asking questions too, if my name could be the next one on that hit list.
My guess is the Nick is the first Grimm that the Wesson Council has ever had any dealings with at all. This is basically just supposition, but her is my thinking:
First off, how would the Wesson Council ever learn a Grimm's identity. Judging by books in the trailer and other statements made by the show, typically, and historically, Wessons don't survive a meeting with a Grimm. Everything we have seen so far is that Nick is an atypical Grimm.
Oh, and don't we have some statements that THIS Wesson council is somewhat compromised or corrupt?
Historically Grimm have had some contact with Royals. (Specifically, I'm thinking of the Verrat -Grimm partnership during the Spanish Civil War. But I don't think there is much if any information exchange between Royals, Verrats, and the Wesson Council.
We know that there is some cooperation between Grimms and the Resistance. But judging by Kelly's experience that information is very compartmentalized.
Finally, if Nick's experience with Wesson assassins is typical, then sending a Wesson (or two or three) to assassinate a grimm is a bad idea.
Season 3 eposode 6, Stories We Tell Our Young, there has been at least one counsel that was held in the distant past between Royals, Grimms and The wessen counsel on the mater of child possession. I can not remember what the psudo wesen was called. But Nick found a reference to it in his books dating to the 1920s where the grimm felt it was a disease but still called the counsel. It turned out to be a parasitic disease and it was the one major time Nick interfered in Counsel business. So the counsel has had dealings with Grimms in the past where there was cooperation, even if grudgingly given, for centuries. It seems to me that the counsel liked killing normal kids even after they had the Science to prove what the disease was, and that is the reason they put the hit on Nick. Might seem that way to other Grimms if they heard the story as well. Since we know that Grimms like having children and some of them turn out 'normal' that is one more reason that they would not like the counsel overstepping their bounds. Grimms are not under Wesen Councel control or jurisdiction except where there is a previous agreement and those agreements would be subject to revision when new information comes to light.
If I had something important to say, I would have mumbled it.
