An off-duty cop from Los Angeles claimed that he found a tampon in his Starbucks Frappuccino. The cop's police union immediately called out the act and stated that it was a disgusting assault on law enforcement.

However, the internet says that there is no way that what the cop found was a tampon and the public is now questioning the narrative due to the increase of false alarms from the police.

Tampon in the frapp

The incident happened on June 19 at around 2:30 p.m. The 36-year-old off-duty LAPD cop stated that he ordered frappuccino at a Starbucks in Diamond Bar, California, which is a part of the LA County. But the incident only came out in a report on June 22 after a police report was filed, according to FOX11.

 FOX11 reported that the off-duty cop was not in uniform when he went to Starbucks. He used his police union debit card on his purchase, which was how he was identified as a cop, according to the police report. He then found what he believed a tampon in his frapp when he was halfway done with his drink. The LAPD union was quick to release a statement about the incident.

According to the statement, the assault was disgusting and that it was done by someone who clearly hated the cops and who does not have human decency. The statement also read that they hope the person responsible for the incident will be fired, arrested, and prosecuted for the repugnant and cowardly action.

The picture of the alleged tampon was posted online and it led to dozens of women dragging the cop on Twitter after they pointed out that what he found in his drink was not even a tampon.

The Starbucks branch where the cop bought his drink was located in Target, and its workers are employees of Target and not of Starbucks.

According to Target's statement, they have reviewed the video footage and they have not found any suspicious behavior. The sheriffs of Los Angles are also reviewing the surveillance footage from the store.
