On Friday, a black woman from East Point, Georgia who used a Facebook pseudonym to post threats of killing “at least 15” white policemen was indicted on charges of making terroristic threats and inciting a riot.
Last April, Ebony Dickens, 34, who has a masters degree in “legal studies,” according to her public defender, used the alias “Tiffany Milan” to post:
All Black ppl should rise up and shoot at every white cop in the nation starting NOW. I condone black on white killings. Hell they condone crimes against us. I’ve thought about shooting every white cop I see in the head until I’m either caught by the police or killed by them. Ha!!!! I think I can pull it off. Might kill at least fifteen tomorrow. I’m plotting now. They reading this sh** too right now. Freedom of speech tho. So when you can absolutely show me the 1st amendment where it explicitly says you can’t say “kill all cops,” then I’ll delete my status. Other than that…NOPE! Death to all white cops nationwide.
11Alive reported that when City Solicitor Antavious Weemes asserted that Dickens had a criminology degree, public defender Tracey Moran insisted Dickens’ had a masters degree in “legal studies”.
Dickens’ $10,000 bond agreement prevents her from using social media.
Moran protested that Dickens meant no harm, saying, “My client was simply venting. . . it was a horrible mistake. The chance of her doing this again is highly improbable.”
