Teacher freed on UES riot rap

A city teacher with a history of clashing with cops was among the alleged anarchists busted this week during an anti-police riot on the Upper East Side that led NYPD Commissioner Dermot Shea to demand that they all wind up in jail.

But Mikael Bucknavage (left), 23, of Mamaroneck, was instead cut loose by a Manhattan Criminal Court judge who previously ignited outrage by freeing a vagrant suspected in a series of unprovoked attacks on women.

Judge Anne Thompson — appointed by Mayor de Blasio in 2018 — refused a prosecution request to place Bucknavage (inset) under supervision. Prosecutors had argued that the suspect was still subject to a conditional discharge over a July 28 incident in which he allegedly shoved a cop during a protest near Madison Square Park.

Bucknavage was among eight people nabbed Wednesday night during an Upper East Side protest over the police killing of Daunte Wright in Minnesota.

Members of the group were accused of smashing windows and spray-painting cars and buildings with messages that included “Kill cops” and “F- -k the cops.”

Bucknavage was clutching a can of spray paint and defacing a building when NYPD

Sgt. Leonardo Deoliveira went to handcuff him, a criminal complaint alleged.

The teacher allegedly elbowed the cop in the face, opening up a gash in his forehead.

He was charged with first-degree riot, second-degree assault and resisting arrest.

Following the violence, Shea said he was “past asking” that anti-cop rioters get the punishment they deserve.

“I’m actually demanding at this point,” Shea fumed. “They need to go to jail. They need to be held accountable.”

Last year, Thompson refused a prosecution request to set bail for a homeless man, Eugene Webb, who was accused of hitting a woman in the face in the West Village, knocking out two of her teeth.

Charges in that case and several others were dismissed when Webb was deemed unfit for trial.
