Regrann from @hendrix.brown - Shot him 12 times while in his underwear. I know this was 50 years ago but have things gotten any better since then?? Via @docbrownonig Just two days after federal agencies conspired to murder Dr. MLK (see Lloyd Jowers 1999 case and conviction), Oakland police shot and killed unarmed 17yr old Little Bobby Hutton on April 6, 1968, 50 yrs ago today. An original member of the Black Panther Party and its first treasurer, his family had moved to Oakland from Arkansas after being visited by nightriders. At 16, Hutton joined the Black Panther Party because he wanted to make a difference in his community and bc he believed in the Party’s Ten-Point Program. On May 2, 1967, he was present when several Black Panther Party members made national headlines by appearing armed at the California State Capitol in Sacramento to protest the Mulford Act, which prohibited the carrying of firearms in any public place. Hutton and others were arrested several blocks away, a tactic police often used to cover from the public eye the common abuses they performed on citizens. On April 6, 1968, Terry Cotton, another Panther and former political prisoner says that they were on alert for aggressive cops since King's assasination had just occurred and were preparing to host a community barbeque to "keep folks cool," and avoid the riots other cities were experiencing. Hutton was in a carload of Panthers who were confronted by Oakland police officers; two officers were shot. Later, at a home at 1218 28th Street, Eldridge Cleaver and Hutton, in an incident connected to the earlier shooting, engaged in a ninety-minute shootout with police. Officers tear gassed the property and Hutton was trapped in the burning basement. He exited and surrendered stripped down to his underwear to prove he was not armed. Police shot him 12 times regardless. About 1200 persons attended his funeral where actor Marlon Brando gave the eulogy. His legacy surfaces in Tupac Shakur’s “Ghetto Gospel." He would've been 68 this year. These are the absent fathers, grandfathers and mentors critics love to count as missing in the Black community. #BobbyHutton #BlackPanther #StephonClark - #regra https://www.instagram.com/p/Bv8QGYrnKnc/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=tpoznwc3t87k

For what it’s worth, the late Geronimo Ji-Jaga Pratt, Minister of Defense for the Black Panther Party, once told me, “Marlon Brando was the best friend the BPP ever had.” He joined their struggles, paid their legal fees, visited Panthers in prison, and did it all quietly, without fanfare. ————————————- Marlon Brando eulogizes Black Panther Bobby Hutton (1968) #BlackPanthers #BobbyHutton #MarlonBrando https://www.instagram.com/p/CgvWH47sPX9/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

On this date, 17 year old Black Panther member Bobby Hutton was killed by Oakland, California police officers. On April 6, 1968, Bobby was killed by Oakland Police officers after Eldridge Cleaver led him and twelve other Panthers in an ambush of the Oakland Police, during which two officers were seriously wounded by multiple gunshot wounds. The impetus for the police ambush was the assassination of Martin Luther King, Jr. on April 4. The ambush, which Cleaver admitted he led, turned into a shoot-out between the Panthers and the Oakland police at a house in West Oakland. About 90 minutes later Hutton and Cleaver surrendered after the police tear-gassed the building. Eldridge Cleaver stated that police shot Bobby more than twelve times after he had surrendered and had him stripped down to his underwear to verify that he was unarmed. The police maintained that Hutton attempted to run away and ignored orders to stop. According to Eldridge Cleaver, one Oakland police officer who witnessed the shoot-out later told him: "What they did was first degree murder." Cleaver and two police officers were also wounded. #bobbyhutton #blacklivesmatter #thingstheydontteachyou #gonetoosoon #blackhidstory #blackpanther #treasureourown #cointelpro #makebeingblackinamericalegal #moderndaylynching https://www.instagram.com/p/B-opOiEHOGB/?igshid=17062lod42gy4
