On Dec 4, 1969..I saw the results of police murder..murder of Fred Hampton, Mark Clark in Chicago.

The link below, explains that the apartment where the police shooting took place, "was left open" and people went through to take a look at what had happened. Tours were being given. Hampton was the leader of the Black Panther Party in Chicago. He was killed that morning, and I was teaching in a high school not far from the location of the shooting. I played the devils advocate in class and said basically, that the news this morning said that Hampton and Clark were firing at police and the police were protecting themselves. Two students mentioned during class that the apartment was still open, and I could see for myself. I was kinda scared to walk over there on my lunch break, but these students said they would walk with me, and I had nothing to be scared of. So, I walked with them to take the tour..(keep in mind, these 17 year olds are now 62 years old).
....So they were correct, it looked like the cops killed them while they were sleeping.. If you read the links, you will find that eventually it was proven, the two were murdered, and a settlement was made to the family. I was a young white history teacher in a all black high school.. Yet, it is a clear memory walking through the apartment and seeing the blood in the bed and splattered against the walls. No policeman was ever charged, even though much later it was proven to be a pre-planned murder... Several Links Below:. Oh, it is pretty ugly reading. ....from the 1st link below..about the 15th paragraph:

"After the murder, the apartment was left open for two weeks, and many people went through there--not only Blacks but suburban whites--and saw how it had to be murder. The Congressional Black Caucus, at that time led by Adam Clayton Powell, came here and examined the apartment and called it murder themselves."
