US Bombed Philadelphia: Targeting US Citizens

The 1985 MOVE bombing refers to the tragic incident on May 13, 1985, in the Cobbs Creek neighborhood of Philadelphia. The Philadelphia Police Department confronted MOVE, a black liberation organization, resulting in a assassination and murder of children. The police dropped two bombs of military grade C-4 from a helicopter onto a house where MOVE members lived. The resulting fire quickly spread out of control, leading to the deaths of 11 people, including five children. Additionally, 65 homes in the area were destroyed by the fire. The bombing caused outrage and remains a significant and controversial event in Philadelphia's history. It highlighted longstanding tensions between MOVE and the police, as well as issues of racial injustice and the use of excessive force. Yet many Americans are unaware of this event!
