New York cop in 50-shot death of groom-to-be loses job, pension


NEW YORK – A New York Police Department detective who fired the first of 50 shots in the controversial shooting death of groom-to-be Sean Bell will lose his job and pension, myFOXny.com reported.
NYPD Commissioner Raymond Kelly on Friday upheld a departmental judge's decision to fire Detective Gesnard Isnora.

"There was nothing in the record to warrant overturning the decision of the department's trial judge," said NYPD spokesman Paul Browne.

Isnora and two other cops fired 50 shots at Bell's car outside a Queens strip club on the morning of Bell's wedding in 2006. The officers said they thought someone in Bell's party had a gun, but no weapon was found.

A grand jury declined to file charges against the cops.

Two other officers who fired at Bell -- Detectives Marc Cooper and Michael Oliver -- will be forced to resign from the NYPD, The New York Times reported, citing law enforcement officials.

The officers' supervisor, Lt. Gary Napoli, who was at the scene but did not fire at Bell, will also be forced to resign, the Times reported.



So opening fire on a group of wedding people means losing a job but not his freedom?

I remember that.


And it only took six years. That's some swift justice right there!

Wonder what happens if I open fire on a group of people in a car while saying I saw a car and fire 50 rounds at the vehicle killing a wedding party.

Think I'd just lose a job?

It sounds like not firing on a group will get u fired as well.

That all depends on what car you tell the jury you saw. If they like the car, then you might get to keep your job.

soo, he got six years of wages after the incident. Perfect.

how is this justice?

[hustleman]

Sounds to me there wasn't enough evidence to bring up criminal charges against the officers or the grand jury would of done that already. The department likely made this decision as a political firing in an attempt to calm some of the publics tensions.

Sounds like a brilliant way to get an extended paid vacation.

I thought NY was a union city for pretty much every job. He'd still be working if he was a member!

"As they moved in on the group, Bell, who toxicology reports show was legally drunk, tried to flee in the car with his buddies.

His car smashed into a police van, injuring one cop. That’s when Isnora fired the first of 11 shots. Oliver fired 31 of the 50 shots. Cooper shot four times. The groom and his buddies were unarmed."

Although the amount of bullets was excessive, as the saying goes,
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes.

It's always interesting when a far left liberal like yourself supports 50 shots being fired on the street into a vehicle full of black people on a public street.

Almost seems hypocritical even, given your usual stance on guns and what not...
