A coalition of families of homicide victims and violence prevention organizations will lead a news conference Saturday in Oakland addressing the firing of former Oakland Police Chief LeRonne Armstrong.
For about 20 years, the police department has been under federal oversight caused by police misconduct. Armstrong nearly restored oversight of the Police Department to the city. Under his leadership, Oakland police met or exceeded 51 of 52 reforms necessary to be relieved of federal oversight.
Thao said on the day she fired Armstrong that Federal Monitor Robert Warshaw was"profoundly disappointed in the evidence" brought to light in a report on alleged police misconduct and saw"significant cultural problems in the department." Armstrong said Thao,"accepted the Monitor's conclusions at face value" and has ignored the community, which the mayor has said she wants to bring together.
