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.”

Scammers are deceiving individuals with fake job offers, promising payments for completing tasks that ultimately don’t result in any compensation. These fraudsters often pose as legitimate companies to appear trustworthy, convincing people to share their personal information or work without receiving pay.

The New York State Sheriffs’ Association advises staying vigilant: ● Always confirm job offers directly with the company through official communication channels. ● Be cautious when sharing personal or financial details with unverified sources. ● If a job opportunity seems too perfect, it probably is.
