I am not defending the Philadelphia PDs actions here, which were clearly inappropriate, but I don’t think it’s accurate to say they “murdered” 11 people. If the PD kills someone while trying to serve an arrest warrant after being shot at, that is pretty clearly a lawful homicide and not murder. The death of the children could certainly be considered manslaughter but I don’t think it meets the standard for murder either since there was, arguably, no intention to kill them.
Certainly the best way to “serve an arrest warrant”.
Who coul’ve imagined innocent men, women and children would die horribly from this: serve an arrest warrant
Sometimes I wonder how the us has gotten away with its too numerous to count war crimes and crimes against humanity; and then, like magic, one of you appear.

Who coul’ve imagined innocent men, women and children would die horribly from this:
I think dropping bombs does actually count as murderous intent.
They dropped, in total, 3 pounds of bombs on a roof. Nobody was harmed by the explosions.
5 dead children, 6 adults you scumbag
I don’t get it. How the fuck these people end up on lemmy of all places. Do they not have reddit for this crap?
That’s literally what you’re doing. Literally.
Zero nuance as usual… just because I don’t think something was murder doesn’t mean I am defending them or their actions.

They used more than 10000 rounds and ultimately dropped bombs on the neighborhood. That’s excessive force and therefore no longer a lawful homicide.
