When people say "the government wouldn't do that"

(Meant to do this last month)
Remind them this is the 40th anniversary of the Philadelphia MOVE bombing in which the city government and police decided to drop a bomb on home in a residential area. A home containing innocent children. A home, actually an entire group of homes that had nothing to do with anything, that the police let burn for almost 2 hours before allowing the fire department to put it out.
Wanted to add I was doing some more reading and found out that the bones of one of the children killed in the bombing was not returned to the family until last year.
Also that no one, including the police officers, were charged with a crime. The only person that went to jail was the only survivor.
So when they say "they would never do that" I promise you they will. Because they already have done it.
