There was a documentary about the Panthers that went into quite a bit of detail about how COINTELPRO created dissent between the BPP and US Organization culminating in the shootout between the groups on UCLA's campus. It continued on to show how the FBI ultimately succeeded in bringing down the BPP by weaving that narrative into the primary subect matter that was the history of the BPP.

I forget which cable channel I watched it on.
