New York, N.Y.-- A man described by police as a Turkish-born Muslim was charged yesterday with destroying a Queens memorial to a fallen 9/11 cop while screaming, "This is political!" The Post has learned.
Adnan Emre, 26, tore down a portion of Officer Paul Talty's tribute attached to a light post at 50th Avenue and Vernon Boulevard in Long Island City, police sources said.
It consisted of 5-inch-by-7-inch picture of the late officer, a cross, a plaque and crossed American and Irish flags. The plaque is inscribed, "Rest in Peace, Paul. We miss you. God Bless."
Emre ripped down the cross at about 7:52 a.m., cops said, and announced his deed by screaming, "This is political!"
"There are so many deranged people," said the officer's mom, Barbara Talty. "This doesn't surprise me, but it's sad."
Talty's sister, Patricia Dougan, said the suspect must be unstable.
"I just have to think whoever would do this isn't right in the mind," Dougan said.
A passing MTA booth clerk witnessed the vandalism and called cops, who responded from the 108th Precinct station house just down the block.
Emre was charged with criminal mischief and disorderly conduct, said a spokeswoman for Queens District Attorney Richard Brown. He faces a maximum penalty of a year in jail and a $1,000 fine.
Talty, 40, rushed to the World Trade Center's south tower as it fell.
Talty had served in the 108th Precinct before he was transferred to the NYPD's elite Emergency Service Unit.
He left behind a preteen boy and girl - and a pregnant wife, who gave birth to a girl two weeks after the attacks.
Talty's survivors maintain the memorial.
Emre is a native of Turkey but now lives in Long Island City, police said.
Local residents were outraged by the destruction.
"If I caught him, he'd be dead, the bastard!" fumed Tom Ledden, 71, a long-time Long Island City resident and military veteran.
Sung Park, owner of a deli across the street from Talty's memorial, said he fondly remembers the cop as a friendly, regular customer:
"I only have good memories of him," he said.
"Who would do this? He's a nut. People died on 9/11 and this sicko destroys the memorial? You must be really sick."

It is good to see New Yorkers still feel this way. If this had occurred in Boston it would have went like this:
"Muslims have a right to do what they want."
"Bush was behind 9/11, so what the Turk did is Okay."
"America brought this upon itself."
