Netizens slam the New York Police Department of over claims that some of their officers were allegedly poisoned at Shake Shack after Chief Rodney Harrison announced on Tuesday (June 16) that there was no criminality done by the restaurant’s employees.

The said labor, under the “Urgent Safety Message” alert on Twitter, revealed that the officers were not seriously harmed and asked the public to see their published safety alert.
Harrison, chief of the Detectives Bureau in the NYPD, announced on Twitter that an investigation had been thoroughly conducted by NYPD’s Manhattan South investigators. The investigators determined that there was no criminality on the part of Shake Shack employees.

Some netizens said that the news no longer came as a shock as it allegedly happens every time.
So you're telling me that cops lied at the expense of the people they're sworn to protect... to cover their own asses?

A Twitter user pointed out that Detectives’ Endowment Association issued a statement earlier that it was an “intentional poisoning,” even before the conduct of an investigation.
That's interesting, because this statement of "intentional poisoning" was put out there as a declaration of fact before any investigating. https://t.co/9HIBemdnVl

Woulda been nice to investigate BEFORE y'all tell other cops and the public that three officers were "deliberately poisoned."

Other netizens questioned the release of Harrison’s announcement regarding the result of the investigation.
glad you clarified this in a tweet in the middle of the night

Damn, info released at 4 am Tuesday. Good job

Some netizens defended Shake Shack and wanted the NYPD to apologize to the New York-based restaurant. Others demanded the truth and asked NYPD to reveal the whole story.
Wow, that’s a real shocker. Seems like Shake Shack is owed a sincere apology. They are a good business with good employees, and this baseless accusation may have needlessly harmed their reputation.

Yeah, we kind of figured. But now that your department accused workers at a specific location of attempted murder, I think we all deserve the whole story you seem to have uncovered.
— Matthew J. Kuiken 🇺🇦 (@Juris_Sequoia) June 16, 2020
Now do the thorough police investigation of the cops who lied.
— rafael shimunov (@rafaelshimunov) June 16, 2020
Will be interesting to see if the investigation finds out who was really behind this & if the person/s or group/s have right-wing ties.
— MURRAY (@murray_nyc) June 16, 2020
The Detectives Endowment Association subsequently issued a statement, via their official Twitter account, thanking Shake Shack for their cooperation during the investigation and the NYPD personnel for efficiently responding to what they described as a “potentially disastrous situation.”
We want to thank all NYPD personnel who responded efficiently to this potentially disastrous situation. Thank you to Shake Shack for their full and timely cooperation in the investigation. The fact remains, please stay vigilant, stay safe and always be aware of your surroundings.
— Detectives' Endowment Association (@NYCPDDEA) June 16, 2020
The association added another tweet saying that a cleaning solution —described as toxic substance— had “accidentally” made its way to the officers’ shakes. They were relieved to hear that there was no intentional attempt to harm the officers. They added that the NYPD policemen would make a full recovery.
