A Dallas man says he’s received death threats since being incorrectly identified as a suspect in the fatal shooting of police officers.

Mark Hughes had been attending a protest against recent acts of police brutality when snipers opened fire on officers there. The Dallas Police Department then tweeted this image:

Hughes was later cleared without charges, but the tweet was still up hours later.

“We received a phone call that my face was there on a suspect and I immediately flagged down a police officers,” he told CBS Dallas. He said the news came as a shock because he had been “talking to police, laughing and joking with police officers” earlier that day.

1. It was a bad situation but I don't think

he would've been Richard Jewelled. No ammo in the weapon and plenty of people had seen him around the event and interacted with him. Social media sped up the time table of having his name removed as a suspect.

2. He is extremely lucky

someone didn't shoot first and ask question later. I would buy a lottery ticket today if I were him.
