I think what made COINTELPRO stand out was how weird it was (experiments with LSD, etc.)

ETA: Never mind, I think I'm getting that confused with MKUltra.

COINTELPRO: surveil and oppress and facilitate violence towards black folks for daring to not want to be quite so oppressed

MKUltra: jerk off dolphins while playing with acid
