what group was formed in the inner cities to protect against police violence? A. Black cats B. Black panthers C. Black tigers D. Black jaguars

The correct answer is B. The group that was formed in the inner cities to protect against police violence was the Black Panthers.

Explanation:

The Black Panthers was an African American social group and political party formed in 1966, which from that year until the 1980s fought for the civil, political and labor rights of black citizens of the nation, in addition to instilling self-defense methods for African Americans so that they can defend themselves from the police brutality they suffered at that time.

During the time, it was classified as a threat by the federal government (almost like a terrorist group), mainly due to its socialist tendencies and its instigation to the armed defense of black citizens. Its main leaders were Bobby Seale and Huey Newton.
