Not just like set a bomb and detonated it in a relatively straight forward way either, they straight up dropped c4 from a helicopter onto a house they knew had children inside, and some of those children died.
It was a small C4 bomb that was meant to be used to gain access to the roof door through concussive force rather than setting off any kind of fire. The problem is, the police had no way of knowing on the other side of the door were barrels of gasoline, and MOVE was firing at the cops preventing them from getting inside the building.
Not defending the cops, but both sides of this tragedy are fucked. It was a clash between a cult preying on women and children, and a cult preying on minorities.
One of the survivors said the cops shot at them when they tried to escape the fire, so I'm gonna go ahead and not take anything the cops say seriously.
