Poison pills | Fast Forward daily e-blast reports about this uptick of retaliatory acts … by police officers:

“This is weird: Perhaps as a way of generating sympathy for themselves, cops across the country keep making up stories that employees at various eating establishments are trying to poison them or are insulting them. A few examples:

— On Monday, the NYC detectives’ union posted on Twitter that three of their officers had been intentionally poisoned by workers at a Shake Shack in Manhattan, and made sure to post the address of the store so that its employees could be harassed and threatened in person. The cops claimed to feel sick, and accused Shake Shack of putting something in their milkshakes. Shake Shack was cleared.

— A cop in Kansas claimed that a McDonald’s employee had written “f—— pig” on the receipt taped to his coffee cup, posting his charge on Facebook, which led to threats against the store and its employees. Turns out he made it up.

— A sheriff’s deputy in Indianapolis bought a chicken sandwich from McDonalds and put it in a refrigerator at the jail where he worked. Later, when he went to heat it up, he noticed a bite had been taken out of it. He immediately accused McDonald employees of tampering with his food and marched down there to talk to a supervisor. Turns out he had taken the bite and just forgot.

— In Fort Myers, Fla., a cop accused local Burger King employees of putting dirt and grit on his burger. He posted his poor-me accusation on Facebook, which led to calls for a boycott. Turns out the “dirt” was seasoning.”
