This is the same police force that dropped a BOMB on a private home in a residential neighborhood and then held back the firefighters until entire city BLOCKS were burned to the ground.

Really? Which incident is this?

The MOVE confrontation in 1985.

The bombing resulted in 11 deaths (including 5 children) and the destruction of 65 homes in the resulting fires.
An investigative commission formed by the Philadelphia Mayor issued its report on March 6, 1986 denouncing the actions of the city government, stating that “Dropping a bomb on an occupied row house was unconscionable.”
No one from the city government was charged criminally.
