I don't think many people realize but there was a major MOVB incident during Rizzo's term as mayor. A policeman was killed but nobody else, and certainly no block was burned down.

And everybody was arrested who was supposed to be.

The difference between a mayor who knows what he is doing and one who doesn't.

I still remember that

I also remember being on vacation in Colorado when Willie B. Goode was Mayor and watching on national tv ... several blocks in flames

According to Wikipedia:

" About 10,000 rounds of ammunition were fired by the police in to the house. 62 houses burned to the ground; only Ramona Africa and Michael Ward (aka Birdie Africa) escaped alive. Six adults and five children in the MOVE house were killed."
