EAST POINT, Ga. -- The woman who threatened to kill white police officers is out of jail on a $10,000 bond.
Ebony Monique Dickens posted the bond Thursday at 6:19 am.
New details about her background emerged in court Wednesday afternoon at her bond hearing. She was charged with dissemination of information to facilitate terroristic threats after she posted on a Facebook page under the name Tiffany Milan.
The threat included a call to action and specifics about her plan to "kill at least 15 tomorrow" and "I can pull it off."

Apparently she has a Master's Degree in legal studies. One might think she would know this was illegal and that she was undoubtedly going to be arrested.

(12,778 posts)should we just assume the poster is not "serious or able to incite anyone to actually do anything"?

(82,383 posts)She's venting generally. And she's an adult. Depends on the case. Some kid saying they were going to shoot up the school wouldn't result in an arrest but intervention.

(12,778 posts)Uh - yeah it would. I've seen cases of kids charged with terrorist threats for social media posts threatening to kill other students. It's not that uncommon.

(7,107 posts)I agree, with her education, she would know this was illegal.
Either it was done on purpose for publicity, or she was just stupid.
NaturalHigh
(12,778 posts)Probably a bit of both. Stupid and showing off for her friends.
