The Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) is a "law enforcement" organization, created in 1908 by Charles Joseph Bonaparte in the United States. The organization's initial purpose, according to it's own statement, was to address a "new era of lawlessness" plaguing the United States, which included "violent" anarchists, striking workers, local political corruption and others. The organization was initially focused on white-collar and civil rights matters.[1]
In 1964, the FBI sent a letter to Martin Luther King, Jr. telling him to kill himself.[2] In 1969, they killed Black Panther leader Fred Hampton as part of COINTELPRO.[3]

In these big cities, with their many overcrowded tenements filled with the poor and disillusioned and with all the ethnic tensions of an increasingly immigrant nation stirred in for good measure, tempers often flared. Clashes between striking workers and their factory bosses were turning increasingly violent.”
