Nos. 77-1698, 77-1210 & 77-1370 17 that local police planned “a positive course of action” based on the information regarding the West Monroe Street apartment which the Chicago FBI had provided local law enforcement officials. B. Raid _The fourteen raiders met at the State’s Attorney’s Of- fice for a briefing at 4:00 a.m. the morning of the raid. Groth described the apartment’s layout and informed the other officers that it was a BPP dwelling frequented by Fred Hampton. Armed with a machine gun, a sawed- off shotgun, a semi-automatic .30-caliber carbine, and other weapons, they. arrived at the apartment at 4:30 a.m. Groth instructed seven officers (the nonshooters) to guard the apartment’s exterior. Groth, Jones, Gorman, and Davis approached the front of the apartment while Broderick, Carmody, and Ciszewski circled to the rear oor. . Before the raid began, Clark, Truelock, Bell, and Harris were in the living room on chairs and mattresses scattered around the room. Satchel, Anderson, and Brewer were asleep in the front bedroom which was located directly south of the living room. The rear bed- room of the apartment, directly south of the front bedroom, was occupied by Hampton and Johnson.

The-officers detal..-\ to the SPU were, in fact, Chicago police officers. More impor- tantly, other FBI documents indicate that the local FBI at other times referred to police actions of the SPU as actions taken by Chicago police. For example, a December 1 counterintelligence memorandum sent from J ohnson’s office to Lor laa Stated that Hampton was killed by “Chicago police.”
