  "Mayor Bill de Blasio's critics let him know how they really felt about
   him ordering New Yorkers to snitch on each other for violating
   social-distancing rules — by flooding his new tip line with crank
   complaints including "dick pics" and people flipping the bird, The Post
   has learned.
   
   Photos of https://twitter.com/ConservaDude1/status/1251550967226675200 extended middle fingers, the mayor https://twitter.com/JesseKellyDC/status/1251956557606195200 dropping the Staten Island
   groundhog and news coverage of him https://twitter.com/drocknit33/status/1251612096414003205 going to the gym have all been
   texted to a special tip line that de Blasio announced Saturday,
   according to screenshots posted on Twitter.
   
   One user https://twitter.com/MorganLSchmidt1/status/1251544733488422912 sent the message "We will fight this tyrannical overreach!" to
   the service and got an automated message that in part said, "Hello, and
   thank you for texting NYC311."

   "F–k you!" replied @MorganLSchmidt1, along with a meme showing Adolf
   Hitler and the words "TO THOSE TURNING IN YOUR NEIGHBORS AND LOCAL
   BUSINESSES — YOU DID THE REICH THING."
   
   "Start flooding their reporting text numbers with this pics!" the tweet
   added.
   
   Other profane messages included a photo of a bowl of gummy candies https://twitter.com/_wintergirl93/status/1251570147262939144 in
   the shape of male genitalia  and a sign saying "EAT A BAG OF D–KS."
   
   It was not immediately clear whether any of the posters actually lived
   in New York City. "

   An NYPD source said that "dick pic" photos of real penises have also
   been texted to 311, and a caller phoned in a tip that de Blasio was
   seen performing oral sex on someone "in an alleyway behind a 7-11"
   early Sunday.
   
   "He looked at me...and coofed in my direction," the caller said,
   according to a photo of the 311 operator's computer screen provided to
   The Post.
   
   "Coof" is a newly coined term for coughing while infected with the
   coronavirus, according to the Urban Dictionary website.
   
   The inundation of off-color texts was so large the city had to
   temporarily shut down the service.
   
   "The city has begun vetting everything before dispersing the
   information to precincts," the NYPD source said.
