Police and MOVE were still exchanging gunfire, so the firefighters were ordered to back away.

Also, to add some intent, the police plan was to make a hole in the roof through which they could shoot year gas and force MOVE members to evacuate. Witnesses did see officers on the adjoining buildings ready to go. It was a stupid plan.

The conspiracy part comes in, though, because we really only have the word of the police on all of this, since all but two of the MOVE people died, and one was a child

Isn't most tear gas flammable? What the fuck is wrong with our cops and why are they so stupid?
