Several police officers were shot and killed at the end of a protest against police violence in Dallas on 7 July 2016. As chaos unfolded on the streets and as the media attempted to get a grasp on the situation, a troll Twitter account posted a message claiming that the shooter had been identified as Neo-Nazi Jeffrey Harris. This message, posted by the Alt Right Fanfiction Twitter account, is completely false. The gunman in the Dallas protest shootings has been identified as Micah Xavier Johnson: Moreover, the man pictured above is not a neo-Nazi named Jeffrey Harris. The photograph actually shows Michael Arthur Lane, who was arrested for a parole violation in Florida in October 2015. A similar hoax was pulled after the death of Alton Sterling when a photograph of a Trump supporter circulated along with the claim that the man pictured was the officer responsible for Sterling's death.
