May 13, 1985 MOVE Bombing

A Democracy Now! episode on the 30th anniversary of the Philadelphia Police Department helicopter bombing of a Black liberation commune known as MOVE, incinerating six adults and five children, and destroying 65 homes. No one from city government was criminally charged.

At 11:23 of this episode we hear an "Imprison Nation" radio editorial from Mumia Abu-Jamal that speaks of how this bombing set the tone for policing today, in a county where cops are no longer keepers of the peace, nor the soldiers many of us think they have become, but agents of "terrorism."
