A week after some NYPD officers were claiming that they were “poisoned” by way of milkshakes at a Shake Shack in New York City, the New York Post is reporting that not only did the officers involved make up the entire story, but that the lieutenant for the Bronx officers took things a step further by sending an email to the police unions saying the officers were throwing up because of the laced shakes.
Things seemed simple enough with police officers from the Boogie Down seemingly unhappy with the taste of their drinks complaining to the manager and getting free meals in return, but things went really south when they told the story to a superior.
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, according to sources.
In the end, it’s things like this that contribute to people having a problem with trusting police in any capacity.
