Former Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong on Friday spoke publicly for the first time since his termination, blaming his being fired on the federal oversight monitor.
The Oakland Police Commission had questions about the credibility and quality of the report.
Warshaw though was"profoundly disappointed in the evidence" and saw"significant cultural problems in the department," Thao said the day she fired Armstrong. "My termination was never about the facts or my performance or my ability to effectively lead the Oakland Police Department," Armstrong said."My termination was about federal monitor Robert Warshaw and the mayor's failure to fight for the Oakland community."
A press release issued on Armstrong's behalf by a public relations firm Friday was the first time Armstrong has called his firing 'wrongful termination." Armstrong is considering legal action following Mayor Sheng Thao's decision to fire him Wednesday, a crisis consultant working on his behalf said Friday. "Mr. Warshaw's history and incentives are crystal clear. It is the elephant in the room. He is supposed to be neutral, but he is not," Armstrong's latest statement read.
