A member of Malcolm X’s security detail on Tuesday spoke for the first time since the civil rights leader’s assassination 58 years ago, and claimed he heard NYPD officers ask if the man convicted of the murder was ‘with us’.

On my “Conspiracy Theories” meter I’d rate it “4. Plausible”.
I remember in 1965, that Malcolm X was regarded badly in the press and political world. He was (imho correctly) pointing out the flaws in society (e.e., liberal meddling; the drug war; Viet Nam; racist police; and black poverty).
I wouldn’t be surprised if he was targeted by the powers that be.
Not that I agreed with all that he espoused, but he was an icon.
This assertion, while it MAY be true, comes 58 years too late to be credible. Again imho.
