(Natural News) Mike O’Meara, the head of New York state’s largest police union, spoke to the press on Tuesday afternoon demanding that they respect law enforcement officers risking their lives to protect American lives and property. He accused the media of treating police officers unfairly and not focusing enough on the sacrifices they have had to make since the beginning of the engineered riots.

During his speech, O’Meara talked about how the media has been vilifying police officers, and how politicians across the country were failing them. In his speech, which has since gone viral on social media, he spoke about how the media did not praise law enforcement officers for being able to keep the peace in many parts of the country.

“Stop treating us like animals and thugs, and start treating us with some respect,” said O’Meara, president of The Police Benevolent Association of New York State (PBA of New York State). “That’s what we’re here today to say. We’ve been left out of the conversation.”

“We’ve been vilified. It’s disgusting.”
