"The Murder of Fred Hampton." Produced by The Film Group. An excerpt from a documentary about the death of Fred Hampton, chairman of the Illinois Black Panther Party. In 1969, Hampton was murdered in his bed at the Panther headquarters by the Chicago police. The event was extremely controversial as the police and the Black Panthers told drastically different versions of the events. This film became instrumental in proving the Panthers' story that the police broke in to headquarters without warning and killed Hampton without resistance. Edward V Hanrahan was the state's attorney at the time and was largely held responsible for the act. You can watch the full version here:

  • God rest his soul. This is sick and heartbreaking :(

  • The Chicago Police never had any intention of forcing Hampton out. They went in there with the intent of assassinating him and that's exactly what they did. The two bullets in his head fired at point blank range proves that. He was killed without justification or provocation.

  • The word cracker is used by blacks to identify all white people

    They don't realise it goes back to the catholic church and is a slant against christians who participate in the reinactment of the last supper.

    The word cracker is actually an attack on catholics and christians.

    My question is if blacks are so commited to seperatism , why don't they just pack up and leave or start shooting ?

    don't talk about it brothers and sisters , get off your ass and do it.
