A street musician with a prosthetic leg is accusing an NYPD precinct commander of targeting him with summonses because he mouthed off to cops on the Coney Island Boardwalk.

Enrique Flores, 47, says he faced the wrath of NYPD Deputy Inspector William Taylor and several other officers when he told them, "This is why you mother f----rs keep getting shot."

The police were slapping drink cups from the hands of a group of musicians and spectators on the boardwalk when Flores made the remark, according to a pair of $200,000 lawsuits filed in Brooklyn federal court.

Flores, who lost his leg after a car hit him in 2014, was standing on a pair of crutches, playing the bongos as a crowd watched, when he first ran afoul of Taylor on March 25, 2016, he said.

Taylor, who commands the 60th Precinct, told the people to disperse.

Flores spoke out — telling Taylor and an unidentified sergeant, that they were singling out Hispanics.

Flores said, "Why do you always harass us? This is why you mother f----rs keep getting shot," according to his suit.

Moments later, he found his face pressed to the ground, slammed down by the sergeant and pinned down with a knee to the back.

"It's gotta be a racial thing because when he cuffed me, he tried to throw me over the rail,” Flores said. "I'm trying to tell him I have a prosthetic leg but he says, 'I don't give a f---' and he slams me in the floor."

Another man, Edwin Cosme, the former chair of Community Board 13's Public Safety Committee, stood up for Flores, telling the officers that his remarks were "just an opinion" and not a threat, according to a second lawsuit filed by Cosme.

"It was absolutely not a threat. He's just got a big mouth," said lawyer Rochelle Berliner, who represents both men. "This Taylor guy doesn't like Hispanics, doesn't like people having fun."

Taylor ordered Cosme cuffed as well, accusing him of drinking alcohol in public and littering. Cosme said he was drinking a bottle of non-alcoholic Malta India.

Cosme, who owns a hair salon in the neighborhood, described Taylor as “sort of a dictator.”

“It was his form of being a Robocop — whether you like it or not, you're gonna have to swallow it,” Cosme said. “So I spoke up against that."

Taylor has a reputation for cleaning up the boardwalk, but "he's doing it at the expense of the people who live there and enjoy it," Berliner said. “He completely alienates that community he's supposed to be protecting."

Flores got a disorderly conduct summons, and pleaded guilty on June 23, 2016, the lawsuit claims. Cosme took his case to trial the same day, and the charges against him were dismissed.

Since then, he's been denied sound permits for most of the events he plans in the community, he said.

Two days later, Taylor confronted Flores again on the boardwalk near W. 16th St., telling him, "Mr. Flores, every time I see you, I'm going to give you a summons."

He responded, "Do what you gotta do, you piece of sh--.," according to the lawsuit.

Flores got another disorderly conduct summons, which was dismissed in October, court papers allege.

On July 15, 2016, he said, he was back on the same spot, “sitting in his brand new wheelchair, not engaging in any activity that would constitute an offense," the legal documents claim.

Taylor and other cops approached Flores again, accusing him of drinking alcohol, then pulling him out of his wheelchair and pinning him to the ground.

They took him to the 60th Precinct stationhouse, where Taylor told him, "I don't care if you're missing two legs. You could be smoking a cigarette and I'll keep giving you a summons," the lawsuit alleges.

He received another disorderly conduct summons, and received an adjournment in contemplation of dismissal on Sept. 30, 2016, according to his suit.

When he got his wheelchair back, the seat was slashed and it wouldn't go in reverse, he alleges.

Flores said he’s scared to run across Taylor again.

“I feel like I can't go on the boardwalk to see my friends,” he said. “I do different things now just to avoid him."

The NYPD declined comment, referring all questions to the city's law department.

"We will investigate his claims to determine if they have any merit," law department spokesman Nick Paolucci said. With Andrew Keshner
