'The NYC Police Benevolent Association then made a claim that the officers may have been poisoned with bleach. The NYPD launched an investigation after the officers fell ill - and has dismissed the claim, saying that there was no criminality by Shake Shack employees. Investigators say that a cleaning solution wasn’t fully cleared from the milkshake machine, which is how it may have got into the drinks.
Big coincidence that those three policemen just happened to get the shakes from the fresh cleaned machine and there are no other reports of people being sick or poisoned. It is still neglect, intentional or not. If this happened to three civilians, they would sue the place to ashes. I feel there will be zero consequences other than a wrist slap.
The NYC PBA...They may have to stab their own kind into the back, by downplaying this to not worsen the situation.
What I find most troubling is that this could give incentive to some extremists and copycats. It is probably already in some anarchist cooking book, if not, the scheme will be picked up sooner or later. If it isn't in there already.

I know that it was enough for them to get sick and grant a hospital stay.

These are freaking police. That statement should not have been issued without the investigation first. The investigation happened shortly thereafter, and was found to be what i said: a bunch of horsecrap...
Meanwhile, 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.”
It was unclear why the sergeant and lieutenant escalated the situation.
