NYPD union calls city health commissioner a ‘b—h’ over mask plea rejection

The New York police sergeants union described city health commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot as a “b—h” Wednesday in response to revelations that she told an NYPD official she didn’t give “two rats’ asses” about cops getting safety masks.

“Truth is this b—h has blood on her hands but why should anyone be surprised the NYPD has suffered under DeBlasio since he became Mayor,” the Sergeants Benevolent Association tweeted in response to The Post’s exclusive story revealing Barbot’s decision.

The health commissioner said in a mid-March phone conversation with NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan, “I don’t give two rats’ asses about your cops,” in response to the mask request, sources said.

“I need them for others,” Barbot said.

Instead of the 500,000 masks Monahan sought to help protect his force, Barbot said she could only cough up 50,000, according to sources.

Department of Health spokesman Patrick Gallahue acknowledged that there was a “heated exchange between the two where things were said out of frustration, but no harm was wished on anyone.” Barbot “apologized for her contribution to the exchange,” Gallahue added.

Shortly after the SBA’s tweet, the union’s president, Edward Mullins, sent a statement calling for Barbot’s ouster.

The union, in a separate press release, said that if Barbot’s remarks are true, “Ed Mullins, the President of the 13,000 member NYC Sergeants Benevolent Association, believes that Dr. Barbot should be immediately fired.”

“Dr. Barbot’s comments make it clear she has no personal or professional regard for the police,” the union said in the release.

Presidents of the other major police unions, the Detectives’ Endowment Association and the Police Benevolent Association, also slammed Barbot and called for her to be canned.

“A so-called city leader, Dr. Barbot showed her true colors as a cop-hater,” said Detectives’ Endowment Association President Paul DiGiacomo.

“Five brave NYPD Detectives died as the DEA searched for protective equipment to purchase for our members while we waited for the city to distribute masks.”

Patrick Lynch, president of the Police Benevolent Association, called Barbot’s comments “despicable and unforgivable.”

“Dr. Barbot should be forced to look in the eye of every police family who lost a hero to this virus. Look them in the eye and tell them they aren’t worth a rat’s ass,” Lynch fumed.
