Chief who knelt with protesters retires in new NYPD shake-up
FILE In this June 1, 202 file photo, Chief of Department of the New York City Police, Terence Monahan, kneels with activists as protesters paused while walking in New York. Between the pandemic and the protests, Monahan said, โthis was the toughest year that I've ever spent in law enforcement.โRodney Harrison, the chief of the NYPD's detectives squad, is replacing Monahan as chief of department. Juanita Holmes, a Black woman, succeeded the patrol chief who quit last summer, and Jeffrey Maddrey, a Black man, is the Chief of Community Affairs. Critics accused police of acting aggressively, and the city later settled a lawsuit with protesters for $18 million. In July, he was injured in the hand during a scuffle between pro-police and anti-police protesters on the Brooklyn Bridge.
NYPD finds no wrongdoing by Shake Shack employees after officers got sick from milkshakes
CNN Three New York City Police Department officers have been released from the hospital after getting sick when they drank milkshakes from Shake Shack Monday night. The shakes may have been tainted with bleach, according to a statement from the NYC Police Benevolent Association. The NYPD launched an investigation after the officers fell ill and determined early Tuesday morning that there was no criminality by employees, according to a tweet from NYPD Detective Chief Rodney Harrison. All three officers were transported to a local hospital where they were treated, observed and released, according to the spokeswoman. Shake Shack said in a tweet Monday night they were "horrified by the reports of officers injured," and were working with police on investigation.
