To protect Black citizens from the police.
The Black Panther Party (founded in 1966 by Huey Newton and Bobby Seale) began as a response to police brutality and systemic racism. They organized armed citizen patrols to monitor police, and also ran community programs (free breakfasts, clinics) and pushed a broader political agenda (their Ten-Point Program) for Black self-determination — not to make money, get famous, or simply to prove a point to Martin Luther King Jr.
