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.
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.
It's just a light bombing guys, chill.
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?

Obviously you don't know what the word intent means.
