Black badges reading Je suis Charlie, My Badge

Black badges reading "Je suis Charlie" are being posted online after at least 10 journalists and two police officers were shot dead in a brutal gun attack on the French satirical magazine Charlie Hebdo.
Supporters posted the mournful black slogans, which translate as "I am Charlie" using the magazine's distinctive font, to condemn the killings.













The posts reflect online support for freedom of the press

Charlie Hebdo replaced its own website with a single image of the phrase.



No-one has yet claimed responsibility for the attack. 
The publication is well-known for its controversial cartoons particularly 
those depicting Islamic figures and just about every one else.
