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.

    and the Chicago police

    The Chicago Police Department, world famous for murdering leftists, killed Fred Hampton and the FBI provided the Intel. This example does not disprove my thesis. History would imply that if it wasn't for the CPD the FBI would've just kept spying on him and maybe try to blackmail him or have informants muscle him out of leadership.

    Don't confuse this with defending the FBI. Its just extremely important for us leftists to know the character and habits of those who threaten us.

        I'm not trying to make any sort of ethical or moral statements about the FBI. They clearly don't give a shit if leftists of any stripe get killed.

        I'm trying to enhance our understanding of their behaviour so we can better predict it and protect ourselves from it. If a local organizer gets murdered, your first suspects should be the cops.

        The plausible deniability is exactly the point. They don’t care if people find out about the murders. They just care that their levers of power are maintained and the plausible deniability is part of the insurance against that happening
