NYPD officers hospitalised after drinking milkshakes ‘spiked with bleach’

Three New York Police Department (NYPD) officers were hospitalised after consuming milkshakes believed to contain bleach.

The shakes, which were purchased at a Manhattan Shake Shack branch on Monday night, may have been spiked with bleach, New York’s largest police union said.

“At some point during their meal period, they discovered a toxic substance, believed to be bleach, had been placed in their beverages”, said the NYC Police Benevolent Association (NYCPBA) in a statement.

The NYPD then launched an investigation overnight to determine whether the incident “was accidental or intentional in nature,” the department said.

All three cops were released from hospital hours later, after being treated and observed overnight.

The NYCPBA said in its statement that the officers had already ingested some milkshake when they noticed the suspected poisoning.

“When NYC police officers cannot even take meal without coming under attack, it is clear that environment in which we work has deteriorated to a critical level,” added Patrick Lynch, police union president.

The incident comes after demonstraters and police units have clashed at protests against police violence and racism following George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis police custody last month.

The NYCPBA on Monday sent a letter to some 20,000 members with concerns around police food and drink contamination.

“Whenever possible, take meal in groups of two or more, and remain vigilant for the duration of the meal period”, warned the union.

Shake Shack said on Monday night that it was “horrified by the reports of officers injured,” and that it would work with police on their investigation into the incident.

On Tuesday morning, NYPD Chief of Detectives, Rodney Harrison, announced that there had been no criminal actions.

“After a thorough investigation by the NYPD’s Manhattan South investigators, it has been determined that there was no criminality by shake shack’s employees,” wrote Mr Harrison on Twitter.

Shake Shack added that its “team is working hard to get the full picture. In the meantime, we’re relieved to hear the officers are all okay.”

Scary times to be a cop

Yes that's Evil

[Braden]

So ****ing gross.

‘No criminality by the shake shack employees’

Awful accident by the sound of it

[MB.]

In other words, nobody was poisoned, and the cops in question just got diarrhoea from drinking milkshakes and were too embarrassed to admit it, so made their department investigate it as attempted murder lmfao

See: the long and storied history of cops doing the same thing over and over, because there's nothing that cops love more than playing the victim (well, other than murdering black people):

Protesters shout kill the cops....

[Braden]

****ing love Shake Shack.

Just cops nationally accusing low paid workers of attempted murder before they even started investigating anything, no biggie, Breonna Taylor was murdered nearly a hundred days ago, but sure, a bad milkshake definitely requires an entire departments attention.

Tbf if it was bleach inside the Milkshake then they could've been poisoned to death, intentional or not.

But they weren’t and the point is, they held a press conference in front of the hospital accusing the staff of purposefully trying to kill the cops before they even investigated, that could have put the workers in serious danger from deranged people, all because of a machine that hadn’t been 100% flushed out yet, all to paint the narrative that cops are under attack from the public, it’s bull****

Has anyone seen the video of the cop sobbing because she had to wait for her Mcmuffin meal and saying it’s because she’s a cop? It’s got the Karen’s fuming and it’s honestly so pathetic

Has it been proven that the employees are definitely innocent though? To me it is suspicious that it was three Cops that have been the only ones to report about this happening to them from this place.

I mean you probably know more about this case than me anyway so my POV could be me being jaded and cynical.

I haven't, but it sounds funny that a Cop is behaving like a spoilt brat and can't accept that she'll have to wait for her meal like the rest of us.

Yeah, they’ve come out and said that there was no criminality involved

Fair enough.

I'm sure whoever did this was just a bad apple and it doesn't reflect the service industry as a whole.

pretty much this, unless they were the only ones to get served shakes from that machine it looks like a company covering up from where I am sitting, if the machine had bleach in it other customers would be affected would they not? unless they only serve 3 shakes in a day

[Smithy]

Turns out they made it up

Cops caught in lie shocker

Have you seen the new one about a cop saying he found a tampon in his Starbucks? Twitter have been clowning him because it looks nothing like one
