Fired former Oakland police chief LeRonne Armstrong on Thursday said he is weighing his legal options after being dismissed from his job by Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao.
In the statement he released Thursday, Armstrong thanked the community of Oakland for supporting him from when he was placed on administrative leave in January through to Sheng's decision to terminate his employment on Wednesday. Armstrong also thanked"the Oakland Chapter of the NAACP, the Oakland spiritual community, the Chinese Chamber of Commerce, the API community and other neighborhood and community leaders who showed up at the rallies for their tremendous and vocal support.
Oakland resident and small business owner Robert Walker was among those at the rally. He has known Armstrong for decades and has a special connection with the former chief. The bullet intended for Srmstrong's older brother also hit him. The two used to walk"little LeRonne" as he called him to school.
"Being a police was LeRonne Armstrong's dream," explained Walker."There's a dark cloud over the city of Aakland right now."
