PORT LEYDEN â Since the death of Minnesota man George Floyd at the hands of police last May, confidence in and support of law enforcement has been tarnished on all levels across the nation.
A South Lewis Central School District sophomore decided to reverse that tide locally by showing appreciation to law enforcement officers.
Despite trying to save for a car, Alexia T. Finster, who will be 16 in March, purchased small tokens of appreciation for local police agency members.
âThere is so much negativity in the media about law enforcement,â Alexia, the daughter of Jennifer and Trevor Samson, said. âI wanted to do something to let them know they are appreciated and that they are amazing people to me.â
