Cops vow to defeat ‘profile’ pols

A police union has declared war against the City Council members who voted for an anti-“racial profiling” bill — vowing to support their opponents in a campaign to have them all ousted from office.

The Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association will announce today that it intends to use every means at its disposal to work for the rivals of current council members who voted for the measure, which cops believe will expose them to lawsuits.

“No council member who puts this city at risk will have a free ride in the next election,” said PBA President Patrick J. Lynch.

“We intend to target . . . council members for defeat in the upcoming election,” he said, “supporting their opponents to the greatest extent possible.”

Lynch said the unions would talk directly to voters to explain that the bill makes them less safe.

“We will reach out directly to constituents to educate them how their council members’ vote for these bills will translate into increased crime in this city,” he said.

Another union, the Detectives Endowment Association, yanked its support of Dan Garodnick (D-Manhattan), Inez Dickens (D-Manhattan) and Mark Weprin (D-Queens), who are all up for re-election and in the running for powerful leadership positions in the council.

Sara Gonzalez (D-Brooklyn), who’s expected to be in a close race for her Sunset park seat, and Mathieu Eugene (D-Brooklyn) also lost the backing of the DEA.

The legislation, which clears the way for legal action by those who claim they’ve been victims of police racial profiling, had 34 backers — the exact margin needed to overturn an expected veto by Mayor Bloomberg.

The unions are hoping their pressure will force council members to reconsider their votes when it comes time override the mayor’s opposition.

“Should these candidates change their position as reflected on the future vote to override the mayor’s expected veto, the [Captains Endowment Association] will back these candidates,” union head Roy Richter said.

None of the council members responded to requests for comment.
