\n These cops were supposed to be preventing shootings \u2014 but instead they were just blowing smoke.<\/p>\n

A pair of NYPD officers posted up on a Bronx street corner to deter shootings amid the city\u2019s gun-violence epidemic was instead caught on video smoking hookah out of their cruiser, according to sources, witnesses and video.<\/p>\n

The two cops are seen standing next to their patrol car within the Bronx\u2019s 48th Precinct, making clouds of smoke as they take turns sucking on a hose that snakes through the open front passenger window.<\/p>\n

The alarming scene unfolded last Sunday, July 26, while the officers spent about 90 minutes in front of an apartment building on Bronx Park South, across from the Bronx Zoo, a witness told The Post.<\/p>\n

The cops \u2014 working a \u201cshooting post\u201d to prevent gunplay that has skyrocketed 72 percent this year \u2014 chatted with two residents, first a woman and and then a man, who came outside.<\/p>\n

The person who shot the video told The Post he put it on Instagram about 5:30 pm.<\/p>\n

About six hours later, at 11:30 p.m., both cops knocked on his door and asked him to take it down, he said.<\/p>\n

\u201c\u2018Can you please delete the video? I could lose my job. This could be an ongoing investigation,\u2019\u2019 one officer pleaded, the witness said, describing the officers as \u201crookies\u201d in their mid-20s.<\/p>\n

\u201cThey looked scared. They looked nervous. They knew they were in the wrong.\u201d<\/p>\n

The cops told the witness someone had sent them a link to the video, which quickly spread on social media<\/a> and has been widely viewed.<\/p>\n

The witness agreed to take down his video, he said, but \u201cmillions of people saw it already.\u201d<\/p>\n

The witness \u2014 whose name is being withheld by The Post \u2014 said he had looked out his window to check the weather and saw the two officers standing by the NYPD car.<\/p>\n

\u201cI saw them reach for a hookah inside the car,\u201d he said. \u201cThey were smoking the hookah and talking.\u201d<\/p>\n

As the officers puffed, the witness smelled mint, one of the typical flavors of hookah tobacco, he said.<\/p>\n

Both cops are seen with their masks off or pulled down below their mouths.<\/p>\n

Puffing on the device can spread coronavirus, experts say. \u201cInfections may be passed to other smokers by sharing a hookah,\u201d according to the Centers for Disease Control.<\/p>\n

The NYPD patrol guide says smoking in uniform in public view is prohibited. The department declined to comment on the video.\n <\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n
