A squad of anti-cop City Council members are singing a different tune after getting death threats — and are now pleading with New York’s Finest to come to the rescue, The Post has learned.
Staffers for the cop-bashing pols complained to each other and council security staffers about the “scary” threats — and are calling on the NYPD to protect them, according to sources.
“It’s disgusting,” one staffer texted a council colleague. “I’ve clutched my non-existent pearls at some of the threats made against [Councilman Chi] Osse (D-Brooklyn). And some have been thought to be credible as per security and NYPD.
“And for him to be such a critic, if the PD says we need to evacuate/be careful and then listen.”
A staffer for Councilwoman Shahana Hanif (D-Brooklyn) complained about “elevated” and “especially concerning” threats phoned into her office, and praised security personnel for being “very responsive.”
The two pols — along with council members Yusef Salaam (D-Manhattan) and Carlina Rivera (D-Manhattan) — have been vocal critics of the NYPD and among the lawmakers who pushed the controversial “How Many Stops Act” that buries cops in paperwork.
“I wouldn’t expect anything less from a couple of hypocritical politicians,” one Brooklyn cop told The Post.
“Since they don’t want police officers, why don’t they go out and hire private security?”
The four council members did not immediately respond to requests for comment on Thursday.

They’re all anti-cop until trouble comes around, then it’s “we need the cops!”
“...For it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ “Chuck him out, the brute!”
But it’s “Saviour of ‘is country” when the guns begin to shoot;
An’ it’s Tommy this, an’ Tommy that, an’ anything you please;
An’ Tommy ain’t a bloomin’ fool — you bet that Tommy sees!” - Rudyard Kipling

OK, coppers should announce that they will regularly patrol the addresses of each: and publicly publish said addresses.
Uh . . . no.
You cannot appeal unless you have standing.
You do not have standing, unless you suffer damages.

You prove that you vote for Donald Trump for President -AND- you start immediately, to wear a BIG RED TRUMP MAGA baseball cap for the next 5 years.
My dad (deceased) was a cop; he and his buddies would have told these idiots off and walked away laughing.
