On this episode of Breaking the Set, Abby Martin calls out the absurdity of de-furloughing thousands of military defense contractors because of "national security", all the while leaving thousands of food and safety inspectors out of work due to the government shutdown. Abby then looks back on the tragic incident in 1985 where police firebombed a Philadelphia neighborhood in an attempt to punish members of the MOVE revolutionary political group. To this day, no one has been held accountable for the deaths of 11 people including five children who were burned alive. BTS wraps up the show highlighting a few of the most disturbing crowd control gadgets used by militarized police on protestors across the country.
