Fallout
Mayor Goode soon appointed an investigative commission called the PSIC (aka MOVE Commission), chaired by William H. Brown, III. Police commissioner Sambor resigned in November 1985, reporting that he felt that he was being made a "surrogate" by Goode.[23] Goode, on the other hand, feared the Philadelphia Police Department as he had received intelligence indicating that he had been marked as a target for death by the police department.[24] The MOVE Commission issued its report on March 6, 1986. The report denounced the actions of the city government, stating that "Dropping a bomb on an occupied row house was unconscionable."[25] Following the release of the report, Goode made a formal public apology.[26] No one from the city government was charged criminally but the only surviving MOVE member, Ramona Africa, was charged and incarcerated on riot and conspiracy charges.[27]

In 1996 a federal jury ordered the city to pay a US$ 1.5 million civil suit judgement to survivor Ramona Africa and relatives of two people killed in the bombing. The jury had found that the city used excessive force and violated the members' constitutional protections against unreasonable search and seizure.[21] Philadelphia was given the sobriquet "The City that Bombed Itself."[28][29]

1.5 million dollars sounds like trouble to me but ok

Did your car have 12 other people in it? At least one of whom didn't understand bathing? And another with stinky loving food?

Bus did last year. Can't imagine it was that much worse than the subway. Walking a mile home from the bus stop in 100 degree weather was just as bad if not worse tho. At least you come off the subway and it's not too hot to breathe.

Wait the mayor of Philadelphia feared that he had been marked for death by the police?

Nah. When an armed suspect has barricaded himself into a place and says he's not coming out and will kill anyone who comes up, you can pretty much do anything to end the situation and it's cool.

Or. You could just talk to him some more and see if with a little time and patience you could in fact talk him down peacefully, which is what would happen anywhere else in the West.

Police said after several hours of negotiating and shooting at the officers, the suspect was killed by a bomb-wielding robot.

Or are we taking the police at their word that he was shouting DEATH TO THE WHITES

(b/c if it's the latter, not surprised they blew up the suspect, it fits their agenda. It wouldn't behoove them to have him make a statement and go to trial.)

Fair, but I also have zero difficulty believing that a force of narcissistic sociopaths would be willing to lie about what a suspect said after killing him because of the political benefits it provides their organization.

Last year I did landscaping in the Israeli desert. In July and August. Outside all loving day. For one week or two it didn't drop below 40 Celsius until sundown. But 0% humidity, so after my body adjusted to it I wasn't complaining.
A few years before that I was working in Latin America and it got pretty humid. No AC or fans to be found anywhere because poverty lol. What could you do? Stay in the shade indoors and drink some water. Lay down and splay out if possible. It sucked but w/e. Also I was working two blocks from a garbage dump.

So I'm a bit of an expert on adapting to unpleasant climates and horrible smells all around the world.

But stick me on a crowded NYC subway in moderate heat and humidity and I'll try to rip my loving skin off. That poo poo sucks.

Argument for body cams. Maybe Dallas' law enforcement agencies should be spending less money on MRAPs and more money on covering their rear end.

dorner was helped along by targeting the LAPD. nobody likes the LAPD. theres probably a few members of the LAPD who were like "lol good" when that happened.

also the slow trickle of ridiculous false reports, like that he had escaped Big Bear on a horse, were part of what made that whole thing amazing
