I’m not disagreeing with you about the concept but 9/11 is still a bad analogy because it’s basically part of our national identity, the government uses it for propaganda to this day.
The MOVE bombing was in Philadelphia, not Chicago, and the federal government has not commented on it. But even that isn’t a great analogy because it was carried out by a local government.

I’ll spot you that American politicians made a sport of screaming “Remember 9/11!” over the top of one another during election season, while Chinese politicians made Tiananmen Square an internal affair. But suggesting the riots weren’t enormously influential to the next 30 years of domestic policy or party politics is… come on. The difference is in how US and Chinese media operate - with US media deliberately intent on inflaming hatreds and ratcheting tensions while China’s media is constantly working to appease and homogenize and integrate its audience.

A lawsuit appealing a judgment against the police and public officials was filed with the United States Court of Appeals for the Third Circuit on November 3, 1994 Africa v. City of Philadelphia (In re City of Philadelphia Litig.), 49 F.3d 945 (1995) and was decided on March 6, 1995.
I don’t know how much more comment you can make than having a federal judge rule on liability.
