Newly released FBI and Department of Homeland Security documents reveal federal law enforcement agencies worried that violent “Black Supremacist Extremists” would kill police officers, attack the Democratic National Convention and the cause chaos Republican National Convention.

Did I mention the “black” part? According to emails and reports first obtained by Al-Jazeera (American media outlets probably missed them because they didn’t contain Trump tweets), the FBI was concerned that Black Lives Matter protests would turn violent after Micah Xavier Johnson killed five police officers in Dallas Texas during a Black Lives Matter protest. The agency began monitoring the activities of Black Lives Matter and other groups even though—by the FBI’s own admission—Johnson acted alone and had no ties to Black Lives Matter or any other black organization.
