The FBI didn't kill MLK, though. If you eliminated the FBI, you woulnd't get MLK back. But you would have a few hundred more serious terror attacks in the US history, probably a decent number of them against minorities.

We know they tried to do so at least once while maintaining deniability.

Do you have any evidence of this claim besides press-releases from the US government?
