Shortly after the first shots rang out, his brother, Cory Hughes, approached police to see if he could assist them. Upon receiving a phone call that he was a person of interest, Mark Hughes said, he handed his rifle over to the police, who questioned him and then released him. A Facebook video shows Mark Hughes unslinging his gun and giving it to officers, encouraged by his brother. Texas permits open carry of long guns like Hughes’s rifle.

…“They have received thousands of death threats already,” said attorney Corwyn Davis during the conference. “Unfortunately, there was a lot of negligence with that picture.” Davis said it was also unclear when or if the Hughes brothers were read their Miranda rights at the police station.

“But he was toting a rifle as he marched in protest.” (So fucking what!!! When is the last time a white person was accused of a crime because they exercised their right to open carry?!!)

There is no justice in the American court system but if there was the officers who sent out that tweet would arrested, tried, and convicted for the crimes of inciting a riot, endangering the welfare of the public, and interfering with an investigation.

I’ll settle for this man suing the entire city into the Dark Ages.

If anything happens to him or his brother because of the police being so careless with the facts, the officers who spread his picture around should be tried and convicted of Murder 1.
