sometimes we talk abt the MOVE bombing like it was 1 bomb, but before that bomb was dropped from a helicopter, police fired over 10,000 rounds through the house in 90 minutes (using machine guns, silenced snipers and an anti-tank gun), blasted the house w water cannons and...

tear gas, and blew off the front of the house with C4. in the 70s, 3 MOVE women were beaten until they miscarried and 3 week old Life Africa was killed. in 1978 pigs beat and almost killed Delbert Africa, destroyed the MOVE house with bulldozers, and sent the MOVE 9 to prison

the last of the MOVE 9 got out in Feb of this year, after 42 years of being locked in a cage

all of this is to say that police terror is not an event, but a process that is ongoing. with the increase in technology, surveillence, and militarization since then, what terror will the next decade hold for Black people?
