A police union has said that it’s “time people get what they ask for” and a college should suffer mass shootings, all over their mistaken belief that a Brooklyn school policy says the bathrooms are off limits to cops.

The New York Post falsely stated that Brooklyn College “doesn’t want police using campus bathrooms.” The official Twitter account of the Sergeants Benevolent Association then tweeted, “another anti police campus with no common sense. Active shooters, acts of terrorism on campuses and now remove the police. Maybe it’s time people get what they ask for.”

The story wasn’t true to begin with. What is true is that a group of students are unhappy with cops using the campus restrooms and started a petition calling on police to be banned from the washrooms.

Comments in the student-run newspaper by the college’s director of public safety, Donald Wenz, had tried to find a compromise after hearing about the petition. He asked that police officers limit their use of the bathrooms to one restroom “rather than walking across either quad to use the bathroom.”

The college has not responded publicly to the controversial tweet but they did say in a statement that “Brooklyn College offers the use of our facilities to the NYPD and other public servants…as a courtesy.”
