Thread: 50 years ago, on Dec. 4, 1969, Chicago cops killed 21-year-old Black Panther, Fred Hampton
Hampton's death wasn't just another police murder. Even more than MLK or Malcolm X, Hampton's murder might be the most important black assassination in US history. Here's why:
A Black man was murdered. They strangled the life from his body. On camera. We all saw it. Just feet away. Clear as day. He pleaded for his life. They kept strangling him. Eric Garner is dead. The cameraman is jailed. And the killer is still making salary. This is white supremacy
...I know we all got our giggles but apparently Terry couldn’t put it in reverse because his chair wasn’t properly functioning.
That was 2 years ago.
Today he needs an entirely new wheelchair.
Make this go as viral as his 4th of July video.
