EXCLUSIVE

He’s a bigot — and a blubbering crybaby.

EMS Lt. Timothy Dluhos, 34, uses an image of Hitler for his profile photo and “Bad Lieutenant” as his online name as he spews a barrage of racist, sexist, anti-Semitic and anti-Asian comments.

The FDNY boss proudly posed with Mayor Bloomberg during a 2009 ceremony but hatefully calls Hizzoner “King Jew” and “King Heeb” on Twitter.

Dluhos, who works at EMS Station 57 in Bedford-Stuyvesant, Brooklyn, dropped to the ground sobbing Friday when The Post confronted him outside his Staten Island home.

“There has got to be a lot worse out there than me,” he insisted.
BOO-HOO! EMS Lt. Timothy Dluhos blubbers at his Staten Island home after being confronted with his vile tweets.

“My life is ruined. Oh, my God,” Dluhos wailed. “I’m so sorry.”

Yet the 12-year EMS veteran, who was promoted to lieutenant in 2006, seemed to delight in these hateful Twitter diatribes:

* “I’m going to give up racial insults for Lent,” he tweeted Feb. 12. “Jesus that didn’t [last] too long. F--ken chinks can’t drive.”

* While giving what he called a “hood tour” of the Bedford-Stuyvesant area he serves, he posted photos of a housing project, fried-chicken joints and a strip club. “Real nasty place,” he tweeted Feb 23. “I’ve been there.”

* “Hahaha! I work with the coloreds,” he wrote in a Feb. 8 exchange. “For 12 years so that s--t just run off on me.”

* “Too bad he didn’t have rabies or AIDS and too bad he didn’t bite King Heeb’s face off,” he tweeted on Groundhog Day, Feb. 2, recalling when the groundhog Staten Island Chuck nipped Bloomberg at an event at the Staten Island Zoo.

* “That’s how King Jew sees it. Ban all guns & shootings will go down in NYC. But it’s the criminals w/the guns,” he ranted Jan. 30.

* A gold Nazi-era pin with a German U-boat and a swastika is “my most prized artifact,” he boasted on Jan. 30.

* “He was a good boy who never done NUFFIN wrong. Unf--kenreal. He was a perp & died like a perp. Oh well,” he tweeted March 14, mocking the grieving mother of Kimani Gray, the 16-year-old boy who was killed by cops in Brooklyn on March 9.

* He repeatedly Photoshopped an image of an unnamed black teen — putting a Hitler mustache on one photo and a surgical mask on another with the caption, “I’s be a doxter.”

* “My son thinks he’s one of ‘those people,’ ” Dluhos wrote in a caption for a Jan. 29 snapshot of his toddler son wearing pants that sagged below his underwear.

* “But at least I know my taxes go to the ‘undocumented’ citizens and lazy asses who do drugs all day,” Dluhos wrote March 15.

* “Got an extra shift at my second job. Think this will buy me a new gun,” he said, referring to his side gig for Richmond County Ambulance. Photos show a sniper rifle and other firearms stashed in his home.



* “I’m really a dirty pervert. I see a girl with tight pants on and my eyes immediately focus on her crotch to look for camel toe,” he tweeted March 15. He also posted a photo gallery of naked, obese women.

* He captioned a photo of an overweight woman talking with two men on St. Patrick’s Day: “I’m gonna get me 2 d--ks tonight. Good thing I take advantage of the drunk.”

The bad lieutenant is another black eye for the FDNY, a white-male bastion already under a federal court mandate to become more diverse.

It comes less than a week after The Post exposed the vile racist and anti-Semitic tweets posted by Fire Commissioner Sal Cassano’s own EMT son. Joseph Cassano, 23, who quit the next day.

The Post also revealed that Joseph Cassano and the white sons of other FDNY brass are joining the Emergency Medical Service as a shortcut to land firefighter jobs after the department was forced to hire more women and minorities.

The reports sparked an internal FDNY hunt for medics and firefighters spouting hate on social media, The Post has learned.

The department’s Bureau of Investigations and Trials is poring over Facebook, Twitter and Instagram looking for members’ offensive posts, a source said.

“They’re being proactive,” he said. “They’re looking to find anything else before the press does.”

But observers said the agency is up against a widespread, institutional problem.

“He is not an isolated case,” a retired EMS veteran said. “He’s a symptom of a sick system. If you work in the city for police, fire or EMS and tell me you’re surprised by this, you’re a liar.”

Israel Miranda, president of the union that represents EMTs, said his 3,500 members “do not condone the behavior or messages alleged. Our work force is one of the most diverse in city government.”

The union has warned its members in a newsletter: “Stay off of the social networks! Facebook, Twitter, Flickr, Instagram and Blogs! Enough said!”

After breaking down Friday, Dluhos — who made $93,561 in 2011 — tried to explain away his racist rants.

“I’ve seen strangers shot and killed. I’ve seen families torn apart by violence. It’s a damn shame that gang members ruin it for hardworking, struggling people,” he cried.

He insisted he doesn’t hate minorities or Jews.

“My stepfather’s Jewish,” he wept. “I don’t hate anybody.”

The bawling medic, wearing an EMT jacket embroidered with the words “Bad Lieutenant,” then left to go to work.

“I guess I should go enjoy my last day on the job,” Dluhos said.

Within hours, his Twitter and Facebook pages were scrubbed and by Friday night they were down entirely.

The Post notified the FDNY Friday of the Internet screeds and alerted it that Dluhos had appeared despondent and had previously posted numerous online photos of his arsenal of rifles — he tweeted on Friday morning that he had enough firepower to “arm Haiti.”

The FDNY told The Post “the matter is under investigation.”

reminds me of the show 'Rescue Me' which portrays the FDNY as a bunch of bigoted, sexist, homophobic neanderthals

now i know where they get their material from.....

i also have a current coworker who is a retired philly firefighter and he's opened my eyes to how racist the philly FD was

he mentioned the serious lack of blacks in the department and how he had to straighten people out about that casual racist shit they'd give him

u'd never think of these faces when '9/11' is mentioned...but here they are

RIP to a group of heroes....some positivity in this thread

 

I dont get why hes crying. He had to know hed get caught eventually

 

yeah really

either he's legitimately crazy or just plain stupid

why cry after posting all that shit? because you got caught?

 

"Why do you have such a problem with white people? They're not racists. Some of you people here are obviously racists for believing such nonsense. I must defend white people from the likes of you."

Iggy/Harrow/Sluggo

 

lol

i have no problem with 'white' people...but i DO have a problem with racist whites who help the establishment thrive and survive in the 21st century

i also have an issue with the psychological impact that not seeing people of color in certain lights has on people, which is why i posted the 12 guys who died during the 9/11 attack. I never knew there were people that looked like me or you there saving people.

i also have a problem with people who act like there is no racism, anywhere

to me, they help racism manifest itself by turning a blind eye to the plight

 

DING!!!!

 

The funniest thing about this is that the guy actually looks like a racist.

 

shit is unacceptable

here we are, trying to level the playing field and shit...come up in this country......only to be ridiculed and defamed by people like him

sadly, he's only one of the MANY that are still out there protecting the institution from equality

 

Whats really sad about this is dude is hes young. Its not like hes someone who grew up in the 60s or 70s. Hes been around long enough to see his racist pov isnt well supported but chooses to live differently. Maybe hes just an immature prick but none the less just sad.

 

A lot of racists are genuinely mentally ill, and the way he is behaving, leads me to believe that he is bipolar or something.

 

don't believe that bullshit about different times, different generations, more acceptance

i mean..it's true to an extent...but there are plenty of youngins on that racist entitlement shit

 

Nicce.

I visited a few firehouses after 9/11 and they do honor their Black fallen on their station walls. But the media less so.

 

Makes me wonder can humans change

 

Im back to newspaper tv and internet media is a fucking joke. They only care about traffic zero integrity

 

What's more sad is he is in a position of Authority. And sadder too is his POV is well supported, even if inadvertently. Ever read the comments on predominately White or Black trafficked sites? Sites catered to women's bodies? It's pretty raw and without fear of reprisal. Very disheartening.
