O’Meara then accused “everybody” of trying to “shame” officers “into being embarrassed of our profession.”The police union boss then tried to claim that the New York officers’ handling of protesters is nothing compared to the cops involved in George Floyd’s death. “It’s still got a shine on it, and so do theirs.” He then gestured to the all-white crew of officers behind him. O’Meara then called the killing of Floyd by officer Derek Chauvin “disgusting” and said, “it’s not what police officers do. We are restrained.”Graphic video from last week shows police in Buffalo, New York, pushing over a 75-year-old protester and leaving him bleeding on the sidewalk. “Stop treating us like animals and thugs, and start treating us with some respect!” O’Meara said.
