Three NYPD police officers are being treated at a hospital after they apparently fell ill after drinking milkshakes.

The incident was reported at a Shake Shack restaurant on Broadway in Lower Manhattan on Monday evening.

Police say the officers began to feel sick while still drinking the shakes.

They were transported to a local hospital and are all said to be stable.

It's not yet clear what caused them to feel sick, but the Detectives' Endowment Association tweeted that the officers were "intentionally poisoned."

OMFG. This is utterly reprehensible, and the employees should be fired and charged appropriately.

I take it back, the police unions are the ones who are utterly reprehensible: https://www.buzzfeednews.com/article/juliareinstein/police-unions-shake-shack-milkshake-nypd

1. This needs to be independently verified.

Cops are famous for making up shit and framing innocent people.

[swag]

7. I agree with this person.

[JI7]

8. Like the one that accused an employee of writing pig on Starbucks cup

[spudspud]

26. Yup, first thing that came to my mind.

Can't trust them. Needs to be investigated thoroughly first.

2. It's not yet clear what caused them to feel sick, nt

3. Until confirmed by an outside entity, why would you accept the D.E.A.'s assertion?

What exactly should who exactly be charged with?

Based on the link provided, you've got a cop organization tweet as evidence.

Cop orgs never lie, bullshit, jump to conclusions, or gaslight the public, right?

And fast food places never experience extreme fuckups, right?


Pump the fucking brakes here...

6. Damn you Farva!!!

[Dopers_Greed]

5. Seems a little far-fetched

The employee taking the order communicated to the staff making the milkshake that they were for cops, and they just happened to have poison laying around

That said, if true, whoever did this was a total moron.

9. Pfft.

Doubt it. More likely it’s cops making shit up again because someone looked at them funny.

Also, even if there was something in there, they’re fine, unlike Eric Garner, Sandra Bland, George Floyd, Breonna Taylor, Botham Jean, Stephon Clark, Philando Castile, Freddie Gray, Tamar Rice, Michael Brown...

Not wasting one bit of concern over this.

10. They claim it was bleach but didn't notice until after ingesting it.

ummkay.

17. Whoa - they must have coronavirus - one of the first symptoms is losing taste!

How else can the inability to taste bleach in a milkshake be explained? A normal, non-sick person would taste bleach immediately.

21. They are so "us versus them," with the THEM being the citizens

They should legally be required to protect.

Abusers.

[duforsure]

11. Wonder how many people have been infected with this virus

From cops not wearing masks , and how long before they start getting sued for spreading it during this time of protests.

[RandiFan1290]

12. They probably refused to give the pigs free food

[Drum]

14. Bing bing bing!

[3Hotdogs]

13. I suspect that every inch of a fast food chain location is covered by camera.

If it happened, employee will be found.

“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,” Chief of Detectives Rodney Harrison said in a tweet early Tuesday.

16. Bad dates

(Posted only after reading that the cops where NOT intentionally poisoned)

24. Well that's a crazy thread!

Sounds like an employee might have accidentally didn't rinse all the cleaning solution from the machine?

No bjggy..

Cops overeacted...
Everyone else overreacted to the cops overreacting

_________

New Year Eve 1967, my mom, sister and me ordered some grape drink from dispenser at a bus station. A few hours later, us three became violently ill. My mom had ordered something else for our younger siblings. They didn't get sick. Pretty sure it was food poisoning.

20. Whenever this happens, it's never true, yet you feel for it

You need to quit being a Blue Lives Matter/PD "Union" person starting now. They are abusers, so they lie. They said a victim tripped, a victim resisted, some kids working at the best fast casual burger place in the US poisoned them. It's never true.

QUIT CARRYING WATERS FOR ABUSERS

Especially since THIS WAS ALSO A LIE

Maybe self delete this, since you are wrong, and appallingly attacked the workers and believed the cops.

Abusers usually lie. Remember that. They always victim blame.

[ForgoTheConsequence]

22. Yes. OP is irresponsible.

Calling for the firing and charging of low wage workers who did nothing wrong.

The police have a history of lying about things like this:

According to the NYPD, a milkshake machine at the restaurant may have been improperly cleaned, leaving residue from a cleaning agent before the milkshakes were made.
