The Man Who Armed the Black Panthers

I learned a lot about the man who armed the BPP. His name was Richard Aoki. Aoki was active in a lot of political movements in San Francisco, and he played a key role for the BPP. Aoki was their arms dealer, and he also led the BPP in training programs. He seemed like a trust worthy guy, but Rosenfeld found out that he was an informant for the FBI. Rosenfeld did research on the FBI and started to learn more about Aoki and his role of being an informant. Aoki was a veteran, who served as an informant for a long time. They said that no one would ever suspect Aoki as being an informant inside the party, They said that he was perfect for learning a lot about the party. Aoki later killed himself, and their was no main file about Aoki, there was only a file that said he was an informant. Rosenfeld sued the FBI to release the info they had on Aoki, and the FBI still didnt release 4000 pages of info they have on Aoki. This was a very interesting and crazy thing to learn about the man who armed the BPP. While watching this I was thinking about how the FBI had insiders in all the parties that played crucial roles for the parties, which means that the FBI knew a lot from the inside of the party. Also the FBI is hiding documents that they have on Aoki, and not telling us the full story.
