pointing out for some time that we ought not to treat the Black Panthers of some kind of a political organization or some kind of a social organization. This is an organization which not only exhorts to the use of violence but trains for the use of violence.

00:00:14.850 - 00:00:31.420

And apparently there was quite a cache of guns out there today because, you know, this whole thing started today when I, uh, remember, the Black Panthers are, uh, and was in the headquarters of the Black Panthers, aimed the gun of a policeman, and thereafter tear gas

00:00:31.420 - 00:00:46.140

was used to gain entry into the Black Panthers headquarters and a collection of guns were taken out of there. I have still have a very, very strong feeling about the, UH, subject matters of a vigorous fight being undertaken against the Black Panthers because they do not

00:00:46.140 - 00:01:01.880

represent the black community. They don't represent those strong militants in the back black community who are fighting their claims within the system. These are men who seem to be intent on the use of guns on the use of violence, and I'm training for violence, and we

00:01:01.880 - 00:01:15.280

ought to regard them just in that light alone. Were you concerned that thing is going to continue, though, that they keep getting arrested and yet they keep of reappearing. And with guns, well, we have a number of things of that being done. Now. It's a police

00:01:15.280 - 00:01:29.390

problem is, you know, throughout the country, and I think on the overall picture that we are doing as well as can be expected with the problem. In most places in the country, there are much more serious problem. They are here in San Francisco. When you look

00:01:29.390 - 00:01:41.380

at the whole situation, you can see that most of their leaders are either on the run or in jail. And we're going to continue a vigorous action against the Black Panthers until they give up this notion that they're gonna have to use guns against police, the

00:01:41.380 - 00:01:42.550

slightest provocation.
