No, NYC Police Officers Weren’t Poisoned by Shake Shack Employees…

By James St. James on June 16, 2020 11:15 am

Police officers in New York accused Shake Shack employees of putting bleach in their milkshakes, despite having no evidence.

via TMZ:

Three NYPD officers were hospitalized after complaining about a funny taste in the shakes they ordered at a lower Manhattan Shake Shack. They reportedly described the taste as bleach, and feared they’d been poisoned.

NYC Scanner picked up the story and ran with it, with the NYC Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association trying to stir up pro-police/anti-antifa sentiment…

To whit:

“When New York City police officers cannot even take a meal without being attacked, it is clear that the environment in which we work has deteriorated to a critical level. We cannot afford to let our guard down for a moment.”

A letter was sent to members of different police unions making them aware of the sitch. In a since-deleted tweet, the NYC Detectives’ Endowment Association straight-up said their boys in blue were “intentionally” poisoned.

The insinuation was cops can’t even go for a shake now without being attacked by rogue citizens.

Of course they’ve since had to walk that back, once it was established that NOBODY WAS TRYING TO MURDER POLICE OFFICERS AT SHAKE SHACK.

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.

The NY Post reports it appears to be a cleaning solution commonly used that wasn’t rinsed off the machine enough.

So… all’s well that ends well? Not exactly.

These accusations put the employee's lives in danger.

that's exactly right. and now, this morning, right-wing influencers are still tweeting the original accusation, racking up retweets, and people in the comments are calling for the employees to be executed. I can't imagine what they went through last night. interrogations, threats
