The head of New York state’s Police Benevolent Association Mike O’Meara raged at a PBA press conference in New York City today.
O’meara slammed the the media and state legislators who he says were “vilifying” police “like animals and thugs,” despite police interactions around the country being “overwhelmingly positive.”
“Everybody’s trying to shame us. Legislators. The press. Everybody’s trying to shame us into being embarrassed of our profession. You know what? This isn’t stained by someone in Minneapolis,” he said, holding up his badge before gesturing to the crowd of officers standing behind him. “It’s still got a shine on it, and so do theirs.”

Not a particularly impressive presentation!
They turned themselves into thugs.
Old fights boiling over. Cops never got along with deblazio ever since he said that he doesn’t trust the cops with his black kids
De-fund Police unions. Waaay too powerful
Let’s see CNN etc. show THAT video….probably not going to happen. They’re too busy promoting the hatred of Al the Charleton. I for one will thank the next police person I see and tell him/her how much I appreciate everything they do for us everyday. I hope others will do the same.
👏he is so right i wantt to here what the press has to say about that vid…probably YWN& fox news r the only places that will show it
