Cops themselves may be the victims of a disturbing hate crime in Brooklyn, police sources said Tuesday.
“NAZIS=NYPD,” a vandal spray-painted, along with a swastika, on a police car.
Other hateful messages — painted on and near a school in Williamsburg — proclaimed, “NYPD pick on the harmless,” and “NYPD pick on the innocent.”
The harsh words come just days after an anti-cop protest on Staten Island.
A custodian at P.S. 31 on Lorimer and Mesorole streets discovered the tags at around 5:30 a.m. Tuesday, police sources said.
Cop-hating and anti-Semitic remarks were also plastered on vans and scooters near the school, the sources said.
A Rite Aid shop and a post office were also also hit with the graffiti, according to police sources.
The NYPD’s Hate Crime Task Force is investigating, police sources said.
Investigators are scouring the area for video surveillance to identify the vandal or vandals, police sources said. Nobody is being questioned at this time, the sources said.
On Sunday, thousands of protesters slammed the NYPD for the death of Eric Garner, who died after a cop placed him in a chokehold.
The custodian reported the disturbing messages to the 94th precinct.
