ffs Ray Chung making a nuisance at a search scene? Sounds about right. Guy's got a track record of being a tool.

Leo McKenzie2026-07-02T07:58:12.000Z

yeah nah get stuffed, the cops should be focusing on finding the missing person not complaining about a councillor trying to help

Rowan Blake2026-07-02T08:17:12.000Z

he's always been like this. Remember the dog thing? Get off your high horse.

Reese Morgan2026-07-02T08:42:12.000Z

nah mate, there's a time and place. He's not a trained searcher, he's a councillor.

Jamie Fox2026-07-02T08:14:12.000Z

Probably just another example of overreach. Let the man do his job.

Alex Rivera2026-07-02T08:24:12.000Z

if he's just there and they're mad about it, that's petty. Priorities.

Honestly, if he got in the way that's legit annoying. Search and rescue is serious, don't need politicians doing photo ops.

As someone who's coordinated search ops before, a well-meaning but untrained person can cause hours of delay. The councillor should stay in his lane.

my thoughts. Leave it to the pros.

Lol 'nuisance' is the politest way a cop has ever said 'he was being a dick'
