The firing also happened just hours before Oakland police commissioners were supposed to hold a disciplinary meeting on the chief. Shortly after the firing, Armstrong released a statement saying that his termination was "fundamentally wrong, unjustified, and unfair." As a native of Oakland, I know how special this city is. It means the world to me that I have earned the trust and respect of so many leaders and members of this community. I appreciate your efforts to champion my cause and I thank you for trying to help the Mayor understand that the best path forward for the City was with me remaining as Chief.
