The Cops LIED About the Shake Shack "Poisoning" [View all]

The New York Post reported on Monday that the police officers who were alleged to have been poisoned at Shake Shack “never even got sick.”

It was widely reported last week that the three officers had become “sick” after drinking milkshakes ordered at Shake Shack, and that the beverages “may have been tainted with bleach,” however the New York Post disputed conspiracy theories in a report based on unnamed sources.

According to the Post, the three NYPD police officers “never even got sick, and there wasn’t the slightest whiff of criminality from the get-go.” <...>

“Soon after sipping the shakes, however, the cops realized they didn’t taste or smell right, so they threw the drinks in the trash and alerted a manager, who apologized and issued them vouchers for free food or drink, which they accepted,” the Post reported. “But when the cops told their sergeant about the incident, the supervisor called in the Emergency Service Unit to set up a crime scene at the fast-food joint for an evidence search around 9:20 p.m. — nearly two hours after they first got the sour shakes.”

The three officers were also reportedly sent to hospital, despite not showing any symptoms of poisoning, before “a lieutenant from the Bronx blasted out an email to the unions that six cops ‘started throwing up after drinking beverages they got from shake shack on 200 Broadway,'” which the Post said “escalated the situation.”https://www.mediaite.com/crime/new-york-post-reports-nypd-lied-to-escalate-shake-shack-scandal-and-that-officers-never-even-got-sick/
