Ebony Dickens’ Facebook post excerpt reads as follows.
“All Black ppl should rise up and shoot at every white cop in the nation starting NOW. I condone black on white killings. H**l 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.”
“That’s 15 people that she’s talking about killing within a day or so, so whether she is serious or not that’s something that we have to take seriously,” said East Point Police Lieutenant Cliff Chandler.
“My client was simply venting… it was a horrible mistake. The chance of her doing this again is highly improbable,” public defender Tracey Moran said during the Ebony Dickens court hearing. The judge set a $10,000 bond and banned Dickens from all social media.
