    Significant as in via the 99 out of 100 shipping containers that DONT get opened and inspected portside?

    Or significant as in 3 or 4 firearms a year from dishonest employees of gunshops?

    A lie , no matter how you word it or dress it , is still a lie

    Well no, the dictionary says:

    significant:
    adjective
    1. sufficiently great or important to be worthy of attention; noteworthy.
    So if a 1 out of 100 guns in gang possession were used in a murder then the source of that gun would be: worthy of attention; noteworthy... significant.

    Technically it's not a lie, but it is a deception. He is not a liar, but he is deceitful.

    Really?

    I think it is interesting when language like this used. Because a lie can be a misunderstanding, or just repeated. For example he could just be repeating what he has been told (the lie). And we know that police management hold the view that gangs source most firearms from LFOs.

    But if we look at his use of language we can see he knows the truth and is being deliberately deceptive. Which imho is far far worse than a simple lie.

    If u wanna see a police cover up/ suppression of free speech , see what happened with friendly geordies in Australia, once he called the ruling party out on selling land earmarked for koala protection , things went fairly interesting.
    Interesting info, how will it be acted on , clear show of collusion and data fidgeting
