Following news that the officers had fallen sick, the Detectives' Endowment Association , a union for NYPD detectives, on Monday night tweeted an"urgent safety message" about the alleged incident, saying"three of our brothers in blue were intentionally poisoned by one or more workers" at a Shake Shack located in lower Manhattan.
"After tasting the milk shakes they purchased they became ill, making it necessary for them to go to an area hospital," DEA President Paul DiGiacomo said in aDiGiacomo said officers must"be more vigilant than ever," and urged them"to not buy food from locations unknown to you." "Police in New York City and across the country are under attack by vicious criminals who dislike us simply because of the uniform we wear," DiGiacomo said."Emboldened by pandering elected officials, these cowards will go to great lengths to harm any member of law enforcement."
