Mayor rips police unions for many ‘racist activities’

Mayor de Blasio slammed leaders of one of the city’s biggest unions for “racist activities,” saying they harm ties between cops and communities.

“The SBA leadership has engaged in racist activities so many times, I can’t even count,” de Blasio said Tuesday of the Sergeants Benevolent Association.

“Anyone who is tweeting in favor of Confederate monuments is supporting the structural racist history of this country. I’m just sick of it,” the mayor continued, referencing a Monday retweet from the SBA account of a statement criticizing the removal of Confederate monuments.

The comments came as de Blasio announced a new policy for police body cams, the latest in a series of NYPD reforms that has irked cop union leadership.

“I’ve been fighting with these unions from day one. I am fighting with them today. And I don’t like to be fighting with any labor union,” de Blasio said.

“These police union leaders — not all of them, but too many of them — stand in the way of progress,” he added. De Blasio called for a review of the unions’ activities, though he did not go into detail.

“It’s time for a full review of when their actions reach beyond freedom of speech or the right to represent one’s members, which are absolutely appropriate activities, and do things that are counterproductive to the safety of New Yorkers,” he said.

SBA President Ed Mullins (inset) dismissed the diss from de Blasio.

“It’s a shame the mayor is focused on the PBA and SBA when you have a city who hates him,” he told the Daily News. “
