35 years ago today a police helicopter dropped a bomb on a row home in West Philly, killing 6 adults and 5 kids, and burning 61 houses.

Too many don’t know about the MOVE bombing — a tragedy that would have never happened in a white neighborhood. https://www.inquirer.com/opinion/editorials/philadelphia-police-bombing-move-compound-africa-osage-ave-racism-20200512.html

At 6PM on the 35th anniversary of the MOVE bombing, Philadelphia City Council President Darrell Clarke released a statement. He seems to imply that Mayor Goode should have been held criminally or civil responsible & issuing an apology would distract from his focus on COVID-19.

It is unclear to me how writing a resolution with a formal apology from the city would have taken any more time than writing this statement. This is the body that passed a resolution to welcome Gritty to Philly.
