 West #Philadelphia neighborhood after satchel dropped by the Philadelphia #Police Department in 1985

"On the evening of May 13, 1985, longstanding tensions between MOVE, a black liberation group, and the Philadelphia Police Department erupted horrifically. That night, the city of Philadelphia dropped a satchel bomb, a demolition device typically used in combat, laced with Tovex and C-4 explosives on the MOVE organization, who were living in a West Philadelphia rowhome known to be occupied by men, women, and children. It went up in unextinguished flames.

Eleven people were killed, including five children and the founder of the organization. Sixty-one homes were destroyed, and more than 250 citizens were left homeless."

 If you ever find yourself thinking "I know they're bad, but they wouldn't do that..." They have. 
They have done that.
They will do that again.
