Max, this is nonsense. The repression of the Pantheers was orchestrated by the FBI, and it was systematic. The Justice Department sim was quicvker to recognize the danger of the Panthers (as mentioned in my preceding post) than were (or are) most white leftists. And not so incidentally, after the assassination of King, the black neighborhoods in a number of cities that did NOT riot were those negighborhoods in which either the Panthers or SNCC had been most active. The Panthers were a serious politicval, organization, their nature systematically distorted by the media and by the cops. No one on the Chicago police force was stupid enough to think the Panthers represented any danger at all of intiating violence on their own.
