Cops around the city are being tormented by maniacal threats phoned into station houses and messaged directly to their cellphones.
Four people were arrested for making terroristic threats, and cops were investigating 40 other incidents after the murders of two officers in Brooklyn last Saturday, law-enforcement sources said.
A deranged man allegedly phoned the Downtown Brooklyn precinct of slain Officers Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos Wednesday and identified himself as their killer, Ismaayil Brinsley, who committed suicide after killing the cops.
Tyrone Melville, 41, called the 84th Precinct station house and asked to speak with Ramos, sources said. He allegedly asked if they could "take the bullets out of the cop's head so he [Melville] could kill more cops," a sources said.
On Tuesday, a disturbing incident took place when nine cops from the 77th Precinct in Crown Heights received a text message that said "for every one they kill, we will kill two," according to the sources.
One officer called back and reached Pliston Jean-Pierre, 36. He was allegedly drunk and warned the cop, "You're not the one, but you can be the first," sources said.
Both Melville and Jean-Pierre were arrested and charged with making terrorist threats.
The other two people arrested had made threats on Facebook.

A firetruck and about 25 firefighters assigned to Engine Co. 222 moved out of its headquarters adjacent to the NYPD's 81st Precinct building in Bedford-Stuyvesant, the FDNY confirmed.
The police station house t has been threatened by the notorious, Baltimore-based Black Guerrilla Family gang.
"There are no threats against the Fire Department," FDNY spokesman Jim Long said. "It's just that the precinct and firehouse are adjacent to each other. We're just doing this out of an abundance of caution.
Long said the decision was made solely by the FDNY, and wasn't based on a recommendation from the NYPD.
Two Emergency Service Unit cops wearing helmets and body armor — and armed with assault rifles — stood guard Wednesday outside the 81st, where the entrance was surrounded by metal barricades.
Security was also beefed up at the 79th Precinct Tuesday night after a confidential informant told cops about overhearing that the Black Guerrilla Family was plotting to "shoot it out" with officers there.
At Midnight Mass for Christmas, Timothy Cardinal Egan directly addressed Mayor de Blasio, who was there with Gov. Cuomo.
Acknowledging the turmoil in the city, Dolan said, "I suppose that's why you're here, Mayor de Blasio, as we face tensions and divisions in our beloved city, as you and so many other leaders try your best to invite us to dialogue, to listen instead of shouting."
