A Brooklyn man accused of targeting a cop with a chilling threat that mirrored one posted by the killer who assassinated two NYPD officers was not some random dumbbell — he was the officer's personal trainer, The Post has learned.
The day after Ismaaiyl Brinsley murdered two police officers after writing on Instagram, "They Take 1 Of Ours….. Let's Take 2 of Theirs," Clifton Jean-Pierre sent NYPD drug cop Katrina Weekes and eight other people a text message that read, "FOR EVERY ONE THEY KILL, WE KILL TWO," court papers state.
Unlike Brinsley, Jean-Pierre, 36, knew his target, meeting Weekes months before at Blink Fitness in Flatbush, where he had recruited her as a client, law-enforcement sources said.
From April through June, he trained her twice a week, learning she was a cop, sources said.
Weekes called Jean-Pierre about the text, and he replied he "doesn't care" and "did mean it," sources said, adding he began bawling and hung up.
When Weekes called back, Jean-Pierre claimed that she wasn't the one he was targeting but that if she wanted to be his first, she could be, law-enforcement sources said.
The alleged threats sparked a major NYPD response, with snipers sent to Weekes' precinct, the 77th, and several others in Brooklyn, court papers say.
Jean-Pierre, who, court records say, kidnapped and stabbed a man, was busted Dec. 23 and arraigned the next day on terroristic-threat and harassment raps and held on $100,000 bail. He is slated to be in Brooklyn Criminal Court Monday.
In the kidnapping case, Jean-Pierre and five others forced a man into a car at gunpoint and snatched his debit card and $465 in cash, court papers say.
The thugs beat and stabbed him, forcing him in the trunk after failing to withdraw any money with his debit card, court papers and sources say.
The crew dropped him off in a Suffolk County alley after trying in vain to extract a ransom, law-enforcement sources said.
Jean-Pierre, who advertises "total body" workouts, pleaded guilty to kidnapping in 2006 and did six years in prison before he was paroled in late 2012.
The lawyer who represented him at his arraignment didn't return a call for comment.
Meanwhile, cops are investigating threats by a man overheard saying Brinsley "killed the wrong cops" and, "Two white cops should've been killed," law-enforcement sources said.
The alleged threat echoes one that cops say Elvin Payamps, of Queens, made last week. He was being held on $500,000 bail.
Nine men have been arrested for threatening police since cops Wenjian Liu and Rafael Ramos were killed on Dec. 20.
