How conspiracy theories about the NYPD Shake Shack ‘poisoning’ blew up. No one ever even got sick. But that didn’t stop @NYCPBA from jumping all over this being an assassination attempt. https://t.co/vLGmzOsOxN via @nypmetro

Another reason to end the PBA? They made up the whole fucking story about 3 officers getting poisoned at Shake Shack. No one ever even got sick. 3 officers ordered shakes online and when they went to pick them up, they noted an off taste, threw them out, spoke to a manager, who gave them vouchers for a free shake. That should have been the end of it - but instead, we got a lunatic sideshow where cops accused Shake Shack of attempting to poison cops.

Who’s going to hold Pat Lynch and the PBA responsible? Or the SBA? Because they jumped on the claims that 3 were intentionally poisoned, and then backtracked to claim that it was mistakenly poisoned.

Now we learn there was never anyone poisoned at all. It was all bulkshit on a stick from the lunatics at the PBA who jumped to conclusions, and the NYPD overreacted by calling in ESU to investigate the situation.

The three officers were down from The Bronx, on protest duty in Lower Manhattan, on June 15 when they ordered the now-infamous mid-shift treats via a mobile app around 7:30 p.m., purchasing three shakes across two separate orders, sources said.

Their drinks were waiting for them when they arrived at the Shake Shack on the second floor of 200 Broadway a few minutes later. A female officer picked up her strawberry shake from the front counter, and her two male colleagues grabbed their cherry and vanilla drinks from a side counter, sources said.

Police sources explained it was clear that the workers couldn’t have known cops had placed the orders “since it wasn’t done in person” — and they couldn’t have dosed the drinks after the officers arrived, because they were packaged and waiting for pickup when the trio walked in.

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.

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.

Let’s recap. They called in an order, and the Shake Shack folks never would have known who were getting them. It wasn’t an in person order.

But someone at the NYPD determined that this was a criminal act to potentially get a bad shake.
