“The MOVE Crisis in Philadelphia: Extremist Groups & Conflict Resolution”, by Hiskias Assefa, and Paul Wahrhatfig

According to Assefa and Wahrhatfig's work, the Philadelphia police department was only a microcosm of the overall corruption for which it ran, or 'policed' itself.

In 1978, the Philadelphia police raided a home in Powelton Village; a part of the neighborhood system that makes Philadelphia unique. The raid resulted in the death of one police officer, and the imprisonment of nine people, now known as “The MOVE 9.” Although this put a strain on the public’s perception of MOVE members as a whole, it did not diminish the overall lack of trust regarding the Philadelphia police department, and the city’s political officials. Years before this struggle occurred, cops and civilians alike watched as the landscape of civil inequality began to take hold on the city of Philadelphia, and around the country.

In sum, the incidents which took place in 1978 and in 1985 show how the misuse of power can result in the devastation of a city and the deviation of its officials.
