FBI director Kash Patel said that mourning the death of Tupac Shakur’s godmother, Assata Shakur, who died last week in Cuba, is “spitting on the badge” of every police officer who has died in the line of duty.
Shakur, born Joanne Chesimard, a political activist and member of the Black Liberation Army, was convicted in the 1973 murder of a police officer in New Jersey. In 1979, she escaped from jail and was wanted by the FBI, carrying a $1 million reward for information leading to her arrest.
