Chris Cahill is not misinformed or ignorant or naive. He has access to all the facts and knows full well that what he is saying is false.
He is a dishonest, duplicitous, lying fucking cunt. I don't use language like that lightly or often but he has earned it.
He is a disgrace to every police officer that has ever worn the uniform.
Police officers are supposed to have values like honesty and integrity.
When they don't, it only serves to drive a wedge between the police and the communities they are tasked with protecting.
People like him are why we often struggle to see police as the good guys that are on our side, like they should be.
He isn't just misleading the public, he is purposefully trying to create an us-versus-them mentality amongst police officers.
If he can get police officers to see any person who has firearms as a "bad guy" or a threat that needs to be stopped, then he will have succeeded in his mind.
Chris Cahill needs to go as soon as possible. Period. Thank You.

Hi @Kiwigunguy,

I'm not disagreeing mate and I do not want to be misunderstood as defending Mr Cahill.

What I was saying was that I retain respect for his uniform and what it still represents. Call someone a liar, deceiver, manipulator, even a Cahill, no problem.

But once you start calling him "cunt", "prick" etc, you may inadvertently cross the line to help his agenda - which as you say includes creating suspicion and hostility (or at least a public misperception of hostility) between police and lawful firearms owners. WE are the good guys and gals here.
