#LAPD officer says ‘tampon’ was put in his Starbucks — Internet says ‘no way’

An off-duty LAPD cop claims he found a “tampon” in his Starbucks Frappuccino, as his police union decried the act as a “disgusting assault” on law enforcement — but the internet says no way that’s a tampon as it questioned the narrative amid a spate of similar false alarms.

The incident allegedly happened last Friday around 2:30 p.m. at a Starbucks in Diamond Bar, Ca. — part of LA County — but only came out in a report Monday evening after a police report was filed, according to Fox11.

The media report, citing sources, says the 36-year-old off-duty cop, who was not in uniform, found what he believed to be a tampon in his Frap after using his police union debit card.

In a scathing statement, the LAPD union said, “This disgusting assault on a police officer was carried out by someone with hatred in their heart and who lacks human decency. We hope they are publicly exposed, fired, arrested, and prosecuted for their cowardly and repugnant actions.”

The photo of the “tampon” led to dozens of women dragging the reporter and cop on Twitter after pointing out it wasn’t a tampon.

“for a while this morning i kept thinking to myself, “did a reporter put in this much work and not even realise this isn’t a tampon?” one user wrote.

“that looks like a white dude’s dreadlock, not a blood soaked tampon. are you kidding me right now lol,” another wrote.

The Starbucks was located in a Target, and its workers are employees of the retail chain, not Starbucks. Target was expected to issue a statement Tuesday.

Los Angles Sheriffs were reviewing surveillance footage from the store, the report says.

The debacle comes a week after the NYPD Shake Shack scandal that sparked conspiracy theories about three cops getting “poisoned” by the fast-food eatery.

The Post detailed how the incident quickly escalated from the trio of officers getting a bad batch of shakes without any criminal activity to allegations of cop-hating workers trying to harm the officers.
