Woman arrested over threat to kill white cops

Atlanta (CNN)—A fake name on a Facebook post can still get you in real trouble, especially when you're threatening to shoot every white cop you see.

Ebony Dickens of East Point, Georgia, posted her Facebook rant under the name Tiffany Milan, police said.

"All Black ppl should rise up and shoot at every white cop in the nation starting NOW," said the post made on Monday. "I condone black on white killings. Hell they condone crimes against us."

"I 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 15 tomorrow, I'm plotting now."

They will be left far, far behind when the smoke eventually clears.

This is why people need to get their kids educated.

Before Facebook came along a lot of people didn't have a medium to broadcast every stupid thought that popped into their heads.

It feels like a powder keg is about to explode. Whites hating Blacks, Blacks hating Whites, it's all wrong! We should be working together to make our lives better! I weep for this country.

It's scarier still to think of the nutjobs that might actually follow her advice.

That's probably what pisses me off more than her threats towards the cops. This woman could have convinced somebody to go out and do the "dirty work" and we'd end up with more violence.

I hope the book is thrown at her.

They would end up ruining (or ending) their lives because they don't know any better than to kill someone on the advice of a racist fool.
