This is Strange… UPDATE: Nassau County Police Commissioner Claims Person Detained “May Have Been Training a Bomb Detection Dog” Near Trump Rally

Earlier Wednesday it was reported explosives were found in a barrel near a Trump campaign event at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale New York.

Trump supporters are on edge following the second assassination attempt against Trump on Sunday and quickly spread the news of the bomb threat on X.

Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said law enforcement questioned a person who “may have been training a bomb detection dog” near Trump’s rally.

Police said the person detained was a civilian and NOT a member of law enforcement.

How was there an unknown man “training a bomb detection dog” near Trump’s rally?

Does this make sense to anyone else? https://t.co/f4CzHg15hK

Revolver News’ Darren Beattie said this is a suspicious pattern in which there is some kind of ‘training exercise or drill’ which allows for plausible deniability.

If you look into historically suspicious events, you’ll see a pattern in which there is some kind of training exercise or drill whose subject matter almost exactly overlaps with the real life thing that allegedly happens

This allows for plausible deniability when feds are… https://t.co/WQK7lq6qEh

ABC News reported:

Law enforcement officials on Long Island worked quickly on Wednesday to publicly knock down social media posts falsely reporting that explosives had been found in a car near former President Donald Trump’s planned rally in New York.

The false reports of an explosive began circulating hours before the Republican presidential nominee’s campaign event at Nassau Coliseum in Uniondale, just days after he was apparently the target of a second possible assassination attempt.

Nassau County Police Commissioner Patrick Ryder said police questioned and detained a person who “may have been training a bomb detection dog,” near the site of the rally and “falsely reported explosives being found.”

Lt. Scott Skrynecki, a spokesperson for the county police, said in follow-up messages that the person, who police have not yet identified, was a civilian and not a member of a law enforcement agency.
