Doctoring images to incite fear = not cool #SMEM #PIO #RNCINFO #Safety-SM-16-004
Lots of BSery going on.
@TKDMike pushed this image out on 07-16-16 at 1902 EST trying to portray that Cleveland is burning dumpsters tonight for the 2016 Republican National Convention.
Orig tweet w/ image found here
That image looked weird to me.
So let’s look a little closer shall we?
A simple online search found this exact image used multiple times.
Once as a meme for protesters in the UK
Made into a UK Meme
Yep. That’s weird.
Then the same image, slightly better quality found on imgur from 10 months ago.
From imgur
Again, double weird.
Then I found the original.

Game-7 from the Stanley Cup in 2011. Appropriate photo credit to Brian Neumann.
In the initial @tkdmike post from 07-16-16, he has embellished the image and added the Quicken Loans Arena logo and an RNC2016 logo to the dumpster. Additionally, behind the gal on the right is also a photoshopped sign for Trump2016. **Clearly against the orig photo by Brian CA Neumann on 06-16-2011 on Flickr. The sign should not read “Trump 2016”, it should read “Sunrise Kitchens” – also note the hockey jersey.
Doctoring images to push political agenda or incite fear = not cool.
Canada image from 2011 –> fake it to be a Cleveland image in 2016 = not cool.
It’s going to be a long NSSE.

RNC Event Zone #RNCINFO
Coming in on @GCRTA for the #RNC2016 ? Here’s the #RNCINFO
Like me, are you using the Greater Cleveland Rapid Transit Authority (GCRTA) to get to downtown Cleveland?
Here’s their map and information on their downtown stops.
Also, you can subscribe FOR FREE to their Commuter Alerts program here.
I have found their social media team is very responsive to inquiries. Follow them on Twitter: @GCRTA
BTW-If you happen to see me, say hi and let’s take a #selfie!
Showcasing some of the specialty teams in play for the upcoming RNC #RNCINFO
Press event yesterday morning to showcase all the equipment and teams that could be utilized and deployed out for next week’s Republican National Convention (RNC) in Cleveland.
Cleveland Police Sgt Jen Ciaccia lead the effort that started at 0600.
After events in Dallas, the bomb robot was of great interest to everyone.
If you take the time to understand the technology, this is an invaluable piece of equipment to any police department.
Some reporters wanted to try to wear the Explosive Ordinance Disposal (EOD) suits.
NBC Nightly News Correspondent Jacob Rascon even hoped on the Mounted Unit to see what it was like to ride above the crowds.
Nice guy.
Don’t worry, Cleveland Police’s Mounted Unit doesn’t j-walk…
…like you, they use the cross walk.
Bike patrol officers from across the state including Blue Ash Police and Akron Police were out running training throughout the city.
It’s great to have so many law enforcement agencies working together to ensure safety for all participants.
Additionally, lots of pros working behind the scenes making magic happen.
Proud to have a so many Public Information Officers (PIOs) working together in the Cleveland Joint Information Center (JIC).
Looking forward to more fun tomorrow.
And yes, it’s t-minus 3 days…
Driving into Cleveland for the #RNC ? This map will help you avoid blocked roads.
Driving down into Cleveland for the Republican National Convention?
Here’s the map of downtown road closures so consider avoiding these areas.
As always, try to be patient – we have guests in town.
Welcome to Cleveland #RNCINFO #CLE #RNC
92 years ago, Cleveland hosted…
Sharing a little history I learned this morning.
In 1924, the Republicans nominated then President Calvin Coolidge.
Then in 1936, the Republicans nominated Alf Landon to run against Franklin Delano Roosevelt.

So third time RNC should be a breeze in hosting a large event like this one right?
RNC in t-minus five days…
July 2016 includes classes, a deployment and a big event in Cleveland
July is here. OMG. It’s crunch time!
First week I’ll be in Cleveland for a few planning meetings and off to Chicago for my favorite ER MD’s retirement party.
Second week I’ll be deployed with DHS/FEMA for External Affairs.
Third week is the Republican National Convention (RNC) in Cleveland where I’ll be supporting our all-hazards public safety professionals.
Fourth week I’ll head down to Missouri to teach some social media in Region-7 baby! Indeed no rest for the weary.
With the RNC in Cleveland, July will be an incredibly challenging month for all public safety peeps.
PIO training on #AlohaFriday
Lots of training for a Friday…
…on this #AlohaFriday.
Yep, they started periscoping w/ my phone.
Dang it Morales!
At the second station, it was a bit more relaxed, but found out there are more Pinterest users at the station than you would ever believe.
Happy #AlohaFriday everyone.
Where is @rusnivek?
