…and he then goes on to call for an investigation by the fucking FBI.
What is there to investigate here? It was blatant murder, witnessed by dozens and documented on film. There is no mystery about what happened.
The FBI is an organisation that was founded to suppress Black and Red dissent, and that is still their primary function. You are not going to improve the situation by calling in the people who organised the assassination of Fred Hampton.
And now for a little levity:
There are at least two reasons to involve the FBI:
While your historical points are absolutely valid, the best case scenario to get some measure of justice for Fred Hampton is the FBI investigating and charging those MPD cops with murder, and slapping a consent decree on the entire MPD.

Noice
Michael Harriot for the win, whether it’s factual info, passionate explication, or laughter being the best medicine!
The LAPD agreed to a consent decree in 2001.
The LAPD today:
You cannot solve the problem of cops by appealing to the cops.
You cannot solve this specific problem, or these specific cops, if they are allowed to investigate themselves.
Nobody can be surprised that elected officials are proposing to deploy the instruments of governmental power to address a problem. That’s literally all they ever do, or could ever do. Expecting U.S. senators to wake up one day and call for smashing the state is silly. If that’s the soundbite we want, maybe we should be quoting somebody else.
Is it time to consider moving on? 
One last thing…
Idiots responding to this with complaints about the treatment of animals in 3, 2, 1…
—
It’s similar to the thing about dogs, and is related to why I tend to give white animal liberation activists the side-eye.
If you can look at America and decide that the most pressing issue to be addressed is the treatment of non-human animals, you are broadcasting to the world that, to you, the life of a Black person is worth less than that of a dog’s.
It’s Emmett Till all over again.
It’s depressing seeing this keep happening over and over. As if there’s no will to do better than last year. Or 50 years ago. Or 300.
I was on a YouTube livestream when one of the people involved wondered aloud, “what if Karens were radicalized?” It’s nice to see at least one of them using their abilities for good and not for evil! 
The majority of people who complain about holding up a slaughtered livestock animal’s head will never protest a slaughter house, let alone the meat section of their local grocery chain.
It’s definitely tone-deaf to be bringing up in this context anyway, but at least vegans aren’t being hypocritical bringing it up. But for many the problem isn’t the dead pig but being forced to look at its severed head despite themselves eating meat and factory farm products. For them it’s not principle; it’s tone policing, the exact same sort of condescending bullshit as telling victims of oppression to ask nicely for their rights and lives as an implied condition of their support. And since silence is complicity, that means they’re quite willing to aid oppression of people who offend their sensibilities.
That’s aside from the sheer fucking idiocy of supposedly valuing non-human lives equal to humans lives. I say supposedly because even the vast majority of those people aren’t sacrificing their lives or lives of their friends and loved ones for non-human lives they claim to value equally but clearly demonstrably don’t. Intentionally or not, it reeks of white eco-facism and colonialism.
And, predictably…
White supremacy is bipartisan.
