The Day Police Dropped a Bomb On Philadelphia - I Was There (Vice)



In this episode of "I Was There", VICE meets with Ramona Africa, one of the only survivors of the police bombing in a residential neighborhood of Philadelphia in 1985. The bombing was a result of a conflict between the Philadelphia police department and the MOVE organization, the black liberation group in which Ramona belonged. The targeted house was the headquarters of the MOVE group, which had garnered complaints from their neighbors in the predominantly Black neighborhood.

This is not a unique event. It happened in Oklahoma and I would not be surprised if it happened several other places and we never heard a word about it.

In our bright and glorious future it will be done at night by drone and a thorough investigation will show there was a "gas leak".
