NYC Health Commissioner Dr. Oxiris Barbot to NYPD request for masks, "I don’t give two rats' asses about your cops, I need them for others."

NY Post: NYC health head rejected NYPD mask plea: ‘I don’t give two rats’ asses about your cops’.

New York City’s health commissioner blew off an urgent NYPD request for 500,000 surgical masks as the coronavirus crisis mounted — telling a high-ranking police official that “I don’t give two rats’ asses about your cops,” The Post has learned.

Dr. Oxiris Barbot made the heartless remark during a brief phone conversation in late March with NYPD Chief of Department Terence Monahan, sources familiar with the matter said Wednesday.

Monahan asked Barbot for 500,000 masks but she said she could only provide 50,000, the sources said.

“I don’t give two rats’ asses about your cops,” Barbot said, according to sources.

“I need them for others.”

[Mayor Bill] De Blasio named Barbot the city’s health commissioner in 2018[.]

This is the same NYPD Department Chief Terence Monahan who called the dousing with water of NY police officers reprehensible. Poor guy can't get a break for his crew from anyone.

As for Barbot, she was appointed by Kaiser Wilhem...that explains everything.
