The damning ‘MLK/FBI’ doc shows how poorly Martin Luther King Jr. was treated in his time
The film—which is out on Friday, January 15, on what would have been King’s 92nd birthday and just ahead of MLK Day—walks viewers through the uneasy relationship between King and the FBI. During the mid-to-late 1950s, when King first showed up on the agency’s radar, the FBI was apparently not very interested in him.

Security experts weigh in on how to prevent more right-wing violence on Inauguration Day
“I think that having been burned one time by not being adequately prepared for the level of violence, they will more likely be ready to deal with the protest turning violent with plans to handle that,” says Kenneth Gray, a retired FBI special agent and senior lecturer in the University of New Haven’s criminal justice department. “I think you’ll potentially see the use of chemical gases, or rubber bullets, or more severe types of response.” … [Read more...] about Security experts weigh in on how to prevent more right-wing violence on Inauguration Day
