European here, never heard of that, but WTF?????
Here you go: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1985_MOVE_bombing
The callousness manifested by the police is truly shocking. "Allowed the fire to burn out of control" is important here -- the cops deliberately denied firefighters access to the scene so they could deal with the spreading fire. "WTF" is exactly right.
For more depth on this, I recommend the CBC podcast "The Africas vs America". It's weird that the incident isn't better known given how wild the story is.
Excessive force and illegal search? For fuck's sake, this is outright treason!
I can't believe that the police BOMBED a building. That alone is absolutely insane.
I can’t remember exactly what happen but thr police chief in charge of all the death and destruction was given the maximum penalty. He had to make an apology.
But did he have to mean it? Because if he did, that’s close to cruel and unusual for a cop…
European here too. Have read the article right now & got another reason (not that i need one) to never set a foot in that country. It's a shame, great scenery.
Our people may suck, but the parts where the people aren't are really beautiful.
Problem is people bought the places to get a beautiful view, too.
There's a reason they want to control the top social media/news platforms.
