}}Gregore J. Sambor was an American police commissioner of the Philadelphia Police Department from 1984 to 1985. He served for 35 years in the United States Military and earned many awards in marksmanship. He is most known for his role in the 1985 bombing of MOVE, which he classified as a terrorist organization.[1]

1985 MOVE bombing

On May 13, 1985, nearly 500 police officers moved in to execute arrest warrants on MOVE's members.[2] Police commissioner Sambor read a long speech to the members of the organization. When they didn't respond, police moved in to forcibly remove them from the premises, leading to an armed standoff.[3] After the police used over ten thousand rounds of ammunition, Sambor ordered the compound be breached.[4] Two breaching charges were dropped on a bunker-like cubicle on the roof of the building, which ignited the fuel of a gasoline-powered generator there. Firefighters stood by and allowed the resulting fire to destroy 65 houses, although Sambor urged them to put it out. The fire department would not listen, saying they would only accept orders from the Fire Chief. Ramona Africa, the only adult survivor, reported that police shot at anyone attempting to escape the fire.[5] In the end, 11 people including 5 children were killed in the blaze and 250 citizens were left homeless.[6]

Sambor resigned as police commissioner in November of that year of his own decision, although advised not to by family and freinds. Believing he was being made a "surrogate" by Mayor W. Wilson Goode, he did not wish to remain in the environment.[7]
