Followed by Waco and Ruby Ridge. The Democrats take out their enemies with extreme prejudice.

Meanwhile, the Republicans play Nice-Nice, because — you know — if we did anything mean ... well ... who know what the Democrats would do when they got the chance??

Hint: They’ve been doing it since at least 1963.

Move was a leftist anarchist organization taking illegal actions. They most definitely needed to be arrested and prosecuted.

What has always puzzled me is why the Philadelphia police dropped Tovex and C4 on them. Tovex is a very stable explosive derived from Ammonium Nitrate it is easy to handle safely. It is hard to set it off thus the C4 to make it go boom. C4 is also stable but a blasting cap will make it go boom. It was almost certain it would kill anyone close to the blast. It was probable it would start a fire. Natural gas for heating burns like hell.

Why did the cops not just keep shooting tear gas in until they came out?

The whole thing was on tv live. The adults were criminals and the standoff lasted several days. Mayor Wilson Goode ordered the the attack as a last resort. They were warned, but refused to come out.

I remember it well.

I also remember that they killed Officer Jim Ramp, shot him dead in the street and then shot at anyone trying to get to him.

They got what they deserved.
