The BPP were committed to a violent way to get their rights. They made physical actions to make people give them rights. For example on April 6, 1968 an armed confrontation between Black Panthers and police led to 90 minute confrontation at a building housing Panthers. Eventually , the panthers surrendered. Over the course of the day, at least four policemen were wounded and one killed. One panther member, Bobby Hutton, was killed by the police and seven others were arrested. http://terrorism.about.com/od/groupsleader1/p/Black_Panthers.htm
