New York's anti-cop politicians have been warned to stay away from the wake and funeral of slain NYPD officer Jonathan Diller.

The NYPD's Sergeant's Benevolent Association called out several officials by name as it demanded they steer clear from the tributes, which will be attended by Donald Trump.

The organization said City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams and Public Advocate Jumaane Williams 'and their cohorts should stay home.'

'They detest cops and have no appreciation for what they do. They should stay home and not pretend they are grieving.

'They have caused enough heartbreak and destruction,' SBA President Vincent Vallelong told the New York Post

Diller, 31, was shot in broad daylight on Monday during a traffic stop, allegedly by a career criminal with dozens of prior arrests. He left behind a wife and one-year-old son.

While Trump's campaign said he was 'honored' to be invited to pay his respects, the wake is also set to go on within hours of Joe Biden hosting a glitzy Manhattan fundraiser alongside former Presidents Obama and Clinton - with tickets to the event costing as much as $500,000.

The scathing rebuke by Vallelong came was bolstered by an open letter his union released to anti-police council members, which called them out for sharing 'hollow' online tributes to Diller. 

'They are as morally responsible for PO Diller's death as the career criminal who pulled the trigger,' the blistering letter said. 

The career criminal alleged to have killed Diller, Guy Rivera, 34, remains in hospital after he was shot by Diller's partner during the shootout in Queens

Charges against Rivera are pending, and the alleged driver of the vehicle, Lindy Jones, 41 - who also boasts a rap sheet including a decade in prison and 14 arrests - was charged with weapons offences on Tuesday. 

Vallelong cited the repeat offending in his scathing takedown of the Big Apple's soft-on-crime officials, who he blamed for the 'utter destruction of civilized society in New York.' 

'The Council members who are vehemently and inexplicably against public safety are responsible for the carnage in the streets and the heartbreak brought about by PO Diller's completely avoidable death,' his letter said. 

The union chief specifically cited City Council Speaker Adrienne Adams for her role in promoting anti-cop sentiment in the city, as she was seen by some to be a leading voice in the 'defund the police' movement during the 2020 BLM protests. 

This included working to freeze all NYPD hiring and take cops out of schools, threatening to block then-Mayor Bill de Blasio from collecting property taxes unless he did so.

'When you speak to the young people in our communities and ask them about their experiences with police stops, they will tell you how invasive and scary they can be. Our communities are traumatized because of these stops,' Adams said at the time. 

Vallelong said Adams' failure to push back against anti-NYPD legislation means, from his perspective, that she 'declared war on the police', and her council should be 'investigated for every legislative mistake and misstep they make.' 

After Diller's killing, the speaker tweeted that she was 'heartbroken' - a sentiment that the union chief fumed was 'hollow.'  

'I'm just disgusted with how all these people are right now. They are not doing what is right. People are killed over this,' he said. 

'As I read the news and social media posts written by many New York City Council members, it enrages me how hollow and untrue their words of sympathy and empathy are.

'Despite their admonitions to the contrary, the 'leadership' in the Council has failed city residents, workers, and visitors at every turn. They are blinded by their own hatred and twisted ideology.' 

While Trump's campaign said the presidential candidate was invited to the wake on Thursday, Vallelong said anti-cop politicians forcing their way into attending would only 'shed a few crocodile tears' for a 'good photo opportunity.'

'Their presence is more than a distraction. It is a stain on the legacy of a true hero who made the ultimate sacrifice,' he wrote. 'The sad reality is, we don't want them there.' 

In response, a city council spokesperson told The Post: 'Our city is united in mourning the loss of a father, husband, son and public servant, whose life was taken by senseless violence. It's unfortunate that some would rather use this tragedy to launch political attacks that seek to divide us.'

Following Rivera's arrest, it emerged that he has a lengthy criminal history with 21 prior arrests, including first degree robbery, illegal gun possession and assaults. 

At Jones' arraignment on Wednesday, the courthouse was packed with officers. At the same time, hundreds of officers also lined the streets of Massapequa Park as Diller's body was moved to a funeral home. 

Jones - reportedly nicknamed 'Killa' - has 14 prior arrests, including a conviction for attempted murder and robbery in 2003 that saw him serve 10 years behind bars.

He had been arrested on gun charges last April, but was released on a $75,000 bail that was set to bring him back to court Monday.

Following Jones' April arrest, where he was caught with a loaded firearm, Mayor Adams said that he was a prime example of a 'recidivist problem' - meaning a small number of perpetrators committing a large number of crimes.

'Same bad people doing bad things to good people,' Adams added.
