Last year, just nine days before white supremacists stormed Charlottesville, Va., the FBI released a report citing “black identity extremists” as a growing threat to law enforcement. In the report, firstobtained by Foreign Policy, the FBI claimed that police attacks on black Americans could spur “premeditated, retaliatory lethal violence” against the police.
Now The Guardian has spoken to a man believed to be the first prosecuted under the FBI’s effort to track “black identity extremists”: a man who spoke out against police brutality and became a federal target because of it.
