Council a bigger problem than Blas: cop union

Forget Mayor de Blasio — the City Council has created far more trouble for cops, the head of the policesergeants union said Sunday.

“I’m now beginning to really look at City Council as a real problem for law and order in New York City,” Sergeants Benevolent Association President Ed Mullins said in an interview on AM 970.

“Some of the things they do, I think they do just for the purpose of garnering votes. They say they support law enforcement, but they don’t.”

Speaking on John Catsimatidis’ radio show, Mullins credited de Blasio with looking “a little differently at policing” now as opposed to nine months ago, when cops turned their backs on him at two police funerals.

Mullins said crime is getting worse because cops now fear repercussions for making arrests.

“There’s a fear factor on behalf of police officers with getting involved and stopping someone and ultimately being accused of being prejudiced or stopping the wrong guy,” Mullins said.

Council Speaker Melissa Mark-Viverito, while admitting she hadn’t heard “the whole context” of Mullins’ interview, said, “I totally disagree with that point of view.

“We are very much in support of our police officers, and we want to make sure that they have all the support necessary.”
