Sounds ripe for a COINTELPRO.
COINTELLPRO worked. I saw it first hand. The Communist Party got its ass wiped by the FBI and the Black Panthers didn’t get anything for even being in existence.
The DC Black Panther Party was made up of the “lumpenproletariat”, i.e., the unemployed, partially employed, low skilled jobs people, led by veteran Marxist Paul Pumphreys. (I got the information from the police “Booking List” of BBP members arrested for various violent protests.
The same applied to the BBP of Baltimore which was suspected in aiding in the killing of BPD Officer Sager in his patrol car. Leading BBP official Donald Cox fled to Algeria since he was the top suspect in the planning, if not implementing the ambush. A white radical lawyers named Turcos was also involved.
After those two sets of arrests, the BBP in both DC and Baltimore literally ceased to exist. In those days, the police knew who their deadly enemies were, but now they have been slow in learning (at the cost of many deaths and wounded).
