NextImg:Lefty NYC activist posts ‘wanted’ posters of cops mimicking Israeli hostage fliers

Cop haters in the East Village have been posting “wanted” posters with pictures of New York’s Finest.

In recent weeks, red, white and black signs have been spotted on traffic-sensor boxes and fences putting the identities of 9th Precinct cops on blast, along with QR codes linking to their disciplinary records. 

“Wanted for crimes against our neighbors,” declare the posters, which are similar in style to the fliers around town showing Israeli hostages, alongside officers’ names and photos.

An advocate who was hanging the brazen fliers on a wrought-iron fence at the corner of East 9th Street and 1st Avenue this week claimed the signs were to protest police crackdowns of homeless encampments.

“There’s two officers on the fliers and one of them has been just harassing this encampment, taking things very personally,” said the advocate, who refused to give his name.

Several of fliers assailed one of the officers as a “war criminal who profits off pain,” while others called a lieutenant “physically abusive” and claimed he “lies to cover up crimes.”

A third flier ripped into Mayor Eric Adams by claiming he is enriching himself and bilking taxpayers by purchasing robot cops.

“This man defrauds the city at your expense,” reads the poster.

Additional “wanted” fliers have been spotted around Bushwick in Brooklyn knocking 83rd Precinct cops for allegedly spewing racial slurs and assaulting New Yorkers in their homes.

Members of the law enforcement community slammed the billings as threats.

“The local neighborhood kook, he’s sitting there, he’s seeing these posters, and that guy will self-radicalize,” said retired NYPD Sgt. Pete Pannucio. “It’s that one guy out of a million that will go after these cops.”

Guardian Angels founder Curtis Sliwa said the anti-cop crowd has a right to free speech, but warned that the fliers will ultimately have a chilling effect on the force’s morale. 

“They’re using this as a tool to try and handcuff the cops,” Sliwa said. “Cops will see this and say, ‘I’m not gonna go out and do my job because look,’There will be a poster with a code on me.’” 

Said another NYPD source, “It’s beyond obvious that whoever made the anti-cop posters is trolling/mocking the kidnapped Israeli posters.”
