I've seen this floating around, I don't doubt it, but I'd like to see a comprehensive source that explains this, or at least multiple sources.

      No, we should be saying the police are murdering BLM organizers because:

      a) its true

      b) it brings focus on the issues those protesters were fighting.

      c) its true

      d) you won't be a conspiratorialist.

      e) its true.

          CornOnTheBobs point is we should say it was the feds without evidence. If you have evidence that they were involved in the killing of BLM organizers then I welcome it but historical evidence suggests local police.

      I agree, people are going to cling to conspiracy theories anyway, the left should put these theories out there into Facebook groups or wherever.

      The reactionaries spend a lot of time and money spreading their own theories, and there are enough of them that some stick in people's brains. I think of the hippy/new-agey people being pulled into qanon and it makes me sick.
