Attorney Mara Verheyden-Hilliard: Law Enforcement Caught Off Guard On January 6th?
Many are saying that the police were caught off guard when rioters stormed the nations capitol on January 6, 2021, leaving four people dead. It was the most significant breach of Congress in more than 200 years, and pro-Trump rioters promised that it wont be the last. In their violent and lawless efforts to upend what they called a fraudulent election, they faced minimal police resistance. Far-right mobs smashed windows and doors, stormed the Capitol behind a traitorous, terrorist Confederate flag, and broke into the Senate chamber.
Unlike Black Lives Matter protesters and legions of peaceful protesters before them, police have consistently used potentially lethal weapons to disburse and social justice mass demonstrations. But how could the Capitol be unprepared? Word on social media and in the news was that fascists planned to converge in throngs prior to the changing of presidential administrations.

Fred Hampton: The Fight For Truth
Fred Hampton was the young dynamic leader of the Chicago chapter of the Black Panther Party. On December 4, 1969 he was assassinated. An assassination is a political murder. He was assassinated as part of FBI leader J. Edgar Hoovers Cointelpro program. Cointelpro was initiated by Hoover to disrupt, destroy and neutralize the Party and the civil rights movement. Malcolm X and Martin Luther King had already been killed under suspicious circumstances.
Chicago attorney Flint Taylor of the Peoples Law Office, who along with Jeff Haas, Dennis Cunningham, and Morton Stavis of the Center for Constitutional Rights was part of a team that after 13 years of litigation were able to prove that the FBI, the Chicago police, and the Chicago States Attorney were guilty of killing Fred Hampton, his fellow Black Panther Mark Clark, and wounding several others.
The murders took place in a pre-dawn raid on Hamptons apartment. An FBI informer, William ONeal, supplied the killers with a map of the apartment showing where Fred was sleeping. and drugged, probably by ONeal, when the police opened fire with a hail of 90 bullets. A Chicago police officer fired two shots into Hamptons head at close range as he lay in bed.
It has recently been disclosed that ONeals control control agent. Roy Mitchell, was paid a bonus for his and ONeals role in the assassination, and that Hoover, and his top lieutenants William Sullivan and George Moore, were aware of ONeals activities and authorized this award directly after the raid. What are the lessons we can learn from this? Is the FBI still carrying on Cointelpro type operations? How do we protect ourselves?
Guest ” Attorney Flint Taylor, Flint and Jeff Haas have recently written an article about the new information which can be found on Truthout and the Black Agenda Report. Flint, welcome back to Law And Disorder.
