Which group was organized for armed resistance against police?

Answer 1

The Black Panther Party, founded in 1966, was organized for armed resistance against police. The group was formed to protect and serve Black communities, fight police brutality, and promote Black power. They had a 10-point program, which included:

• We want freedom. We want power to determine the destiny of our Black Community.
• We want full employment for our people.
• We want an end to the robbery by the white men of our Black Community.
• We want decent housing, fit for the shelter of human beings.
• We want education for our people that exposes the true nature of this decadent American society.
• We want education that teaches us our true history and our role in the present-day society.
• We want all Black men to be exempt from military service.
• We want an immediate end to police brutality and murder of Black people.
• We want freedom for all Black men held in federal, state, county and city prisons and jails.
• We want all Black people when brought to trial to be tried in court by a jury of their peer group or people from their Black Communities, as defined by the Constitution of the United States.

The Black Panther Party's activism was often met with violent police repression and surveillance. The group had a strong presence across the United States, especially in Oakland, California, where the organization was founded.
