We are a democratic community, and as such, welcome metaposts that seek to amend the rules through consensus. Post articles, videos, questions, analysis and more. As long as it's leftist, it's welcome here!

Their leader was murdered in cold blood by the police as he slept in his bed.

And the guy who usually investigated for the police was the one to prove it was murder by the police....No question he was murdered unfortunately.

That's not fair. The FBI helped.

If you get rid of "in his bed," then the police murdered many of their leaders. But yeah they absolutely executed Fred Hampton... Not just in his bed, but while he was sleeping next to his pregnant girlfriend, whom he died shielding with his body.
