NEW YORK CITY, NY – New York Police Benevolent Association (PBA) President Mike O’Meara railed Tuesday against state legislators and the press for “vilifying” law enforcement officers amid the nationwide demonstrations over the death of George Floyd, a black man who died in Minneapolis police custody on May 25.

The New York PBA’s president, Mike O’Meara, said at a press conference that officers have 375 million interactions with individuals each year and that most of them are “overwhelmingly positive.”

“But what we read in the papers all week is that in the black community, mothers are worried about their children getting home from school without being killed by a cop. What world are we living in? That doesn’t happen,” O’Meara said.

“Our legislators are failing us. Our press is vilifying us,” he added. “Stop treating us like animals and thugs and start treating us with some respect. That’s what we’re here today to say. We’ve been vilified. It’s disgusting.”

Stony Point Police are participating in the state-wide initiative, “No Empty Chair” this week of April 21-25. Please, talk with your teen drivers about safe driving and how to avoid the following: speeding, texting or distracted driving and the dangers of driving under the influence of anything. Seatbelts save lives, wear them. When a school bus has it’s lights flashing red, stop. We want all of our community safe and our teens to be in their seats at graduation this spring.
