An East Point teenager is defending her mother, who spent Tuesday night in jail because of a Facebook post in which she said she was plotting to shoot white police officers.
“I’m 100 percent sure she didn’t want to kill white officers. She just strongly dislikes them,” said 17-year-old Kierra Dickens.[…]
Kierra said her mom was just blowing off steam in the aftermath of the recent deaths of black men in cases involving white police officers.
“She’s been mad about everything that’s going on in Baltimore right now with innocent, unarmed black people getting shot and killed and white officers getting off,” said her daughter.
She said her mother’s Facebook post was not meant to be taken seriously.
“It was more of an attention ploy to get her message out. You know what I’m saying? It wasn’t like, ‘Oh, we’re about to go in with AK47s and blow up every police station,’ because we don’t have that ability at all,” said Kierra. “They came and searched the house and found one handgun.”
