The family have my condolences as well. It's a sad situation but one that is becoming more common and rife in our every day lives. We had a similar story here in London where a carpenter was shot dead by police whilst carrying home a chair leg (which they mistook for a rifle!?!?). It seems the police believe in a shoot first ask questions later rule and thats disgusting. Then on the other hand we have white people who still claim not to understand the ill feeling and antagonism between us and them.

One Love

[align=justify]There was a poll conducted nationwide among Caucasian-Americans several years ago, according to Legrand Clegg II, and that poll revealed that 70% of them believed African Americans to be less patriotic, approximately 56% of them believed African Americans to be less hardworking, 51% believed African Americans to be violence prone (many white supremacist geneticist even proposed a theory for a ethnic-related violence gene among the African Americans). Sixty percent of the Caucasians (also known as Europeans) believed that African Americans are less intelligent. Of course, all the above data doesn't suprise me in the least; in fact I conclude that the estimates are probably much higher and many caucasians need to delude themselves into thinking that they are not suffering from this mental deficiency known as WHITE SUPREMACY.[/align]

[align=justify]COINTELPRO
FBI Domestic Intelligence Activities[/align]
[align=justify]A History To Learn From-[/align]
[align=justify]What Was Cointelpro?

"COINTELPRO" was the FBI's secret program to undermine the popular upsurge which swept the country during the 1960s. Though the name stands for "Counterintelligence Program," the targets were not enemy spies. The FBI set out to eliminate "radical" political opposition inside the US. When traditional modes of repression (exposure, blatant harassment, and prosecution for political crimes) failed to counter the growing insurgency, and even helped to fuel it, the Bureau took the law into its own hands and secretly used fraud and force to sabotage constitutionally-protected political activity. Its methods ranged far beyond surveillance, and amounted to a domestic version of
the covert action for which the CIA has become infamous throughout the world.

How Do We Know About It?[/align]
[align=justify]COINTELPRO was discovered in March, 1971, when secret files were removed from an FBI office and released to news media. Freedom of Information requests, lawsuits, and former agents' public confessions deepened the exposure until a major scandal loomed. To control the damage and re-establish government legitimacy in the wake of Vietnam and Watergate, Congress and the courts compelled the FBI to reveal part of what it had done and to promise it would not do it again . . .

How Did It Work?[/align]
[align=justify]The FBI secretly instructed its field offices to propose schemes to "misdirect, discredit, disrupt and otherwise neutralize "specific
individuals and groups. Close coordination with local police and
prosecutors was encouraged. Final authority rested with top FBI
officials in Washington, who demanded assurance that "there is no possibility of embarrassment to the Bureau." More than 2000 individual actions were officially approved. The documents reveal three types of methods:

1. Infiltration: Agents and informers did not merely spy on political activists. Their main function was to discredit and disrupt. Various means to this end are analyzed below.

2. Other forms of deception: The FBI and police also waged
psychological warfare from the outside -- through bogus publications, forged correspondence, anonymous letters and telephone calls, and similar forms of deceit.

3. Harassment, intimidation and violence: Eviction, job loss,
break-ins, vandalism, grand jury subpoenas, false arrests, frame-ups, and physical violence were threatened, instigated or directly
employed, in an effort to frighten activists and disrupt their
movements. Government agents either concealed their involvement or fabricated a legal pretext. In the case of the Black and Native American movements, these assaults -- including outright political assassinations -- were so extensive and vicious that they amounted to terrorism on the part of the government.

Who Were The Main Targets?[/align]
[align=justify]The most intense operations were directed against the Black movement, particularly the Black Panther Party. This resulted from FBI and police racism, the Black community's lack of material resources for fighting back, and the tendency of the media -- and whites in general -- to ignore or tolerate attacks on Black groups. It also reflected government and corporate fear of the Black movement because of its militance, its broad domestic base and international support, and its historic role in galvanizing the entire Sixties' upsurge. Many other activists who organized against US intervention abroad or for racial, gender or class justice at home also came under covert attack. The
targets were in no way limited to those who used physical force or took up arms. Martin Luther King, David Dellinger, Phillip Berrigan and other leading pacifists were high on the list, as were projects directly protected by the Bill of Rights, such as alternative newspapers.
