[NYPOST] As cops were being threatened and assaulted and the city reeled over the execution of two officers, Mayor Bill de Blasio ostentatiously prayed at St. Patrick's Cathedral Sunday -- then bravely went into hiding.
Police Commissioner Bill Bratton visited the scene of the horrific attack in Brooklyn and Gov. Andrew Sonny Cuomo paid a wrenching condolence call at the home of one of the slain cops, but de Blasio ran from reporters and was nowhere to be found after the church service.

He showed up for 10:15 am Mass with his wife, Chirlane McCray, and Bratton, with all three piously sitting in a front-row pew as Cardinal Timothy Dolan urged prayers for the slain cops' families, the NYPD -- and the embattled mayor.

Dolan asked Bratton to tell cops that "we love them very much, we mourn with them, we need them, we respect them, we're proud of them and we thank them."
Reporters were then told to leave the church early for a nearby news conference with the mayor, but de Blasio -- who was snubbed by scores of cops at Woodhull Hospital on Saturday -- scooted out after the service and bravely ignored questions as he hopped into an SUV.
