The FBI paid an informant to drug Fred Hampton, provided a floor plan, then Chicago PD fired 99 bullets — Hampton's gun was never fired — documented evidence
🟢 CONFIRMED

On December 4, 1969, FBI informant William O'Neal drugged 21-year-old Black Panther Chairman Fred Hampton with secobarbital in his Kool-Aid, provided a detailed floor plan of his apartment to the FBI, and received a $300 bonus. At 4:45 AM, 14 Chicago police officers fired 99 rounds into the apartment. Forensic evidence showed only one shot was fired by a Panther — none by Hampton, who was found shot in bed, likely unconscious from the barbiturates. A 1982 civil settlement of $1.85 million was paid by the city, county, and federal government.

What They Said Was Crazy
They drugged him, mapped his apartment, sent in a hit squad at 4 AM, fired 99 bullets. His gun was never fired. Then they called it a shootout.
