racist police murder (but at least your honest about it --otherwise folks might believe that cops actually regretted what happened this day). I wonder, did you wear one of those "Philadelphia Air Force" shirts with pride afterwards? You've already explained how proud you are to have been a stakeout officer involved in the 78 assault -- which really says it all, but you make other extraordinary statements.

According to you, the explosives on the sides and front of the house were ok.

The bomb dropped was also ok, because it was dropped to "destroy the rooftop bunker". Now you sound like Wilson Goode who infamously said at a press conference afterwards: “If…someone called on the telephone and said to me ‘We’re going to drop a bomb on a house;’ would I approve that? The answer is no. What was said to me was that they were going to use an explosive device to blow the bunker off the top of the house.”

THE FIRE: Yes, there was a fuel can on the roof, and the cops knew it was there when they dropped the bomb. Also, it was a tar roof, which helped start the fire. However, the fire started very small, and GUESS WHAT? Philly's KKK-Kops let it burn, to use as a weapon against MOVE! There's something to be proud of.

GUNFIRE: Sambor later told the MOVE Commission that police had responded to automatic gunfire from MOVE, however, the only weapons found in MOVE’s house were two pistols, a shotgun, and a .22 caliber rifle: no automatic weapons. Sambor was unable to explain this contradiction when challenged by the MOVE Commission.

To conclude, here are a few good quotes from the MOVE Commission:

Officially stating that the police department were LYING when they claimed not to have shot at MOVE when they tried to escape the fire, the Commission wrote: “police gunfire prevented some occupants of 6221 Osage Ave. from escaping from the burning house to the rear alley.”

The Commission also wrote that the deaths of the five MOVE children “appeared to be unjustified homicides which should be investigated by a grand jury.”

Lastly, the Commission concluded that "dropping a bomb on an occupied row house was unconscionable and should have been rejected out of hand by the mayor, the managing director, the police commissioner and the fire commissioner." Recognizing the racial implications, the Commission wrote that the day’s many horrible decisions “would not likely have been made had the MOVE house and its occupants been situated in a comparable white neighborhood.”
