May 10, 2016
An Atlanta-area woman accused of threatening police in a Facebook post in 2015 has now apologized, and the district attorney is planning to drop charges against her.
Ebony Dickens is accused of writing a Facebook post using the name Tiffany Milan in which she called for "death to all white cops nationwide."
The post went on to say, “I thought about shooting every white cop I see in the head until I’m either caught by the police or killed by them … Might kill at least 15 tomorrow, I’m plotting now."
Dickens is a 34-year-old mother of a teenager, a small business owner and has a master's degree in legal services.
She faces charges of terroristic threats and inciting a riot.
She held a news conference with law enforcement officials Friday to apologize, WSB TV reports.
Dickens says the post was taken out of context.
Based on acceptance by law enforcement of the apology, Fulton County District Attorney Paul Howard is planning to ask for the case to be dismissed.
