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.

I get what you're saying, which is why I don't use that sort of language often.
Unfortunately though, there does have to be some visible hostility between us and Cahill(possibly between us and the Police Association as a whole).
As long as Cahill is attacking and slandering us, we can't give the appearance that everything is fine, because it just isn't.
I hope that the hostility becomes great enough to attract widespread public attention.
Once Cahill's antics were brought to the public's attention, it would be easy to show that he was totally dishonest and unscrupulous.
The facts and statistics are all there and most of them come straight from the police themselves.
I don't think anyone would believe that Cahill didn't know the facts, when they are publicly available.
If anything, he should have had even better information than the general public.
There's just no excuse for him to be running around spreading lies wherever he can when he has full access to the truth.
I wish more people knew the sort of malice and dishonesty we are up against.

Here's hoping, I guess.
