“What kind of a police state we live in, that the FBI is in every organization, that everyones phone is tapped, that any organization is infiltrated by its very nature, and its virtually impossible to carry out good work without informants… with informants who are coming there purposely to intervene in the internal affairs of your organization, to take advantage of the conflicts, the so-called intelligence they’re getting, they’re watching… and of course, the very destructive role they played in the murder of Fred Hampton.” Eric Mann

Jacobin Magazine published an article attempting to seemingly provide an excuse or a reason for Fred Hampton's murder. Yet another one of America's smear campaigns against the prominent Black Panther leader. It's interesting how no smear campaign are created about the FBI who are entirely responsible for the murder of most if not ALL prominent Black leaders in the US and around the world... even today.
