This is reminiscent of a Christian group who in recent years has been handing out fake condoms during pride parades. Story out of Cleveland, Ohio:
Federal and local officials are investigating stickers that protesters at the Republican National Convention gave to police officers working the crowds in downtown Cleveland Thursday.
A Georgia state trooper and a Cleveland police officer were treated for skin irritation after coming in contact with the stickers, reports WOIO in Cleveland.
The stickers were yellow and had the words “I am awesome” printed on them. Cleveland media reported that protesters handed them out to officers at the protests.
The Cleveland police officer was treated after he felt a numbness in his neck, the TV station reported. The state trooper was treated at the scene and released.
Authorities confiscated stickers from a man they detained for about 90 minutes, Cleveland.com reported. He was released without charges.
The man told the website that a stranger gave him several stickers. State crime lab officials swabbed his shirt where he had worn a sticker.
The FBI and the Ohio Bureau of Criminal Investigation are currently investigating the stickers. Cont.
