The 1985 MOVE bombing, locally known by its date, May 13, 1985,[2] was the bombing and destruction of residential homes in the Cobbs Creek neighborhood of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, United States, by the Philadelphia Police Department during an armed standoff with MOVE, a black liberation organization. As Philadelphia police attempted to evict MOVE members from a house, they were shot at. Philadelphia police then dropped two explosive devices from a helicopter onto the roof of the occupied house. For 90 minutes, the Philadelphia Police Department allowed the resulting fire to burn out of control, destroying 61 previously evacuated neighboring homes over two city blocks and leaving 250 people homeless.[3] Six adults and five children were killed in the attack,[4] with one adult and one child surviving. A lawsuit in federal court found that the city used excessive force and violated constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure.[5]

This "Philly" incident was the "blueprint" for the Waco, TX police debacle.

Yep, the old tricks are the best tricks.

Compare both incidents, you'll recognize a fuk-ton of similarities.

I guessing it was a bunch of nigger hives that burned, but they’d do it to our White asses too.
Fuck the police!

Seems like using proper explosives without the necessary training should be considered an act of terrorism. Not that the police would ever do or use something without the proper training and safety measures.

The police are the standing army the Founding Fathers warned us about.
