 An Atlanta-area woman who called for black people to “rise up and shoot every white cop†apologized for her Facebook post Friday.
Prosecutors charged Ebony Dickens with terroristic threats and inciting a riot after they said she wrote, “I condone black on white killings. Hell they condone crimes against us,†and “death to all white cops nationwide†under her Facebook name Tiffany Milan last April.
Yet they dropped the rap in exchange for her offering of remorse while surrounded by law enforcement officials at a news conference Friday, WSB-TV reported.
“It was not meant that way. I would never advocate for anybody else to be harmed by anyone. I wouldn’t push that upon my worst enemy. It’s not the person that I am,†said Dickens, 34, a small business owner with a master's degree in criminal justice. “My apology is genuine and sincere because I know for a fact that I do not want anyone's lives taken, anyone being harmed by something that I put on Facebook.â€
Dickens, who is African-American, said she meant the post as satire but understands why she was arrested after East Point police said she predicted that she “might kill at least fifteen tomorrow.†She wanted to write something preposterous in hopes of starting a conversation during protests and riots in Baltimore after the death of 25-year-old Freddie Gray, she said.
