Yes, Fred Hampton's assassination was really, really interesting for anybody who read about political philosophy, or anybody interested with the concept of class struggle.
But i would be quite surprised if the hit on Huey was a government hit. His existence prevented another movement like the black panther to take place.

I don't know how much tin foil it involves, but it seems plausible that the CIA used black on black crime to make sure no one cared about the murder. > His existence prevented another movement like the black panther to take place. I hadn't heard this, but I'm really not educated on the topic so that's not surprising.
