But the first thing they put out was that they poisoned them without any evidence and putting the company and the employees in the crosshairs of enraged idiots? I suppose they acted fast to retract it to avoid lawsuits.
Apparently not the first time cops did this.

Kinda tough to shove that genie back in the bottle. Hope all those members don't mind their dues getting pissed away over all the court actions to come...

It wasn't just the nasty taco with a slice of American Cheese and the side of onion rings fried in week old oil?

Who knew?

Turns out the machine wasn't rinsed enough. Was a mistake, not a murder attempt. Leave it to cop unions to say something stupid, then MSM running with it. I am sure ABC will retract when they wake up and realize this. I wonder how many days/weeks FOX noise will run with it though.

Sure enough, the concern troll post from yesterday hoping that the employees are fired and charged turns ridiculous. As if we didn’t realize when the story broke that the cops were trying to stir up some crap.

It reminds me of an incident years ago when cops insisted they’d found a bio terror weapon during ISAG protests. It was a thermos with spoiled hummus.

was there any foreign substance discovered in the remains of the milkshakes, or not?

Either the whole thing was made up by these cops, or it was general negligence that caused the shakes to be harmful. The latter circumstance is not good for Shake Shack.
