Oakland's fired police chief spoke with KPIX about his next move as we are now seeing the full report that's cast doubt over the reasons behind his firing.
Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao fired Chief LeRonne Armstrong in February of this year after an independent report cited a failure of leadership in his handling of two misconduct cases involving the same officer.
This latest report alone can't force Armstrong's reinstatement, but the Police Commission told us, it will consider putting him on the shortlist of candidates to get his old job back.KPIX reporter Katie Nielsen, sat down with him on one-on-one to ask him about this latest report."For our community to finally believe in the police department and believe that it was changing, that means something to me, and I didn't want to tarnish that," he said.
In fact, at Monday night's Oakland Police Commission Meeting, one of the members even suggested putting Armstrong's name back on the list of people to fill the currently vacant police chief position.
