all the terrorists they caught who werent terrorists too. then there's the amazing story of tupac's mum Afeni adam curtis tells in cant get you out of my head
In April 1969, she and twenty other
Black Panthers were arrested and charged with several counts of conspiracy to bomb police stations and other public places in
New York.
[2] With bail set at $100,000 each for the 21 suspects, the Black Panthers decided to raise bail money first for Joseph and Shakur so that those two could work on raising bail for the others.
[9][11] The pre-trial started in February 1970 and the actual trial on September 8, 1970.
[12] Charges brought against her and the other members of the Black Panther Party were attempted murder, conspiracy to commit murder, conspiracy to bomb buildings and conspiracy.
[12] Shakur represented herself at trial, interviewing several witnesses and arguing in court.
[9]
One of the people Shakur cross-examined was Ralph White, a "suspect" who was in fact an undercover policeman who had infiltrated the Black Panthers.
[13] Shakur had repeatedly denounced White as a cop because he was "a hothead ... too arrogant for a Panther."
[14] White testified it was retaliation for refusing to hire her to work in the Harlem Panther office.
[13] Shakur got White to admit under oath that he and the other two agents had organized most of the unlawful activities. "She asked him if he'd ever seen her carry a gun or kill anyone or bomb anything and he answered no, no, no. Then she asked if he'd seen her doing Panther organizing in a school and a hospital and on the streets and he answered, yes, yes, yes."
[15]
She and the others in the "
Panther 21" were acquitted in May 1971 after an eight-month trial.
[11] Altogether, Afeni Shakur spent two years in jail before being acquitted.
