[indiscernible] >> thank you. >> go ahead. >> thank you.
4:09 pm
thank you all for coming. today i have reached the decision about chief laurent -- leronne armstrong's future with apartment. i believe strongly in the future of oakland. our police to farm has made great strides over the year to be fair to oakland residents and its own officers. but, there is so much more to be done and to do. my job is to make absolutely sure that we, that we continue our progress. this investigation began last
4:10 pm
year under the previous administration. as i came to this decision, i had two major considerations in mind. first. we appropriately address the findings of the independent investigation. second. we in oakland continue our work in reforming our police department. not by checking boxes. by instilling a culture o integrity, fairness at every level. oakland needs a police department that welcomes opportunities. for improvement rather than immediately rejecting criticism. i made a commitment. as your mayor. to ensure the please department and the city can prove one for all -- once and for all. that oakland is ready to ensure
4:11 pm
constitutional policing without federal oversight. within days of being notified that the city needed time to carefully review the findings and evidence in these very serious cases, chief armstrong, a number of stamens that troubled me. in response to a public report that concluded that opd had repeatedly failed to rigorously investigate misconduct and hold officers accountable, chief armstrong said these were not incidents where officers behave poorly. he stated that he did not believe these incidents reflected systemic problems. instead, chief armstrong described an underlying incident as a minor vehicle collision. he said officers make mistakes. and public stated that the sergeant involved in a vehicle collision was held accountable.
4:12 pm
disregarding the independent investigator's findings of serious flaws in the disciplinary process. i have taken the time to review the cases and consider the evidence. and conclusions as the each of the subject officers. including chief armstrong. publicly discussing the merits of these discipline cases would be highly inappropriate, but i can't say it is clear to me that there are systemic issues. the city needs to address them. we cannot simply write them off as mistakes. the federal jud cities that he was profoundly disappointed in the evidence he had seen. the report demonstrated significant cultural problems within the department. the federal monitor determined there was systemic issues seriously enough to render the department out of compliance.
4:13 pm
within -- with an requirement of the negotiated settlement agreement. i personally believe this report shows the absolute necessity of continued reforms to address the issues that can align have come to light. as oakland continues to improve its police department we must be confident our chief will be effective in making sustainable improvements that can be recognized by the federal monitor, federal court, and the people of oakland. oakland is committed to reform. not simply because of the conditions of the nsa. but, because it is the right thing to do. i want to add i have had the pleasure to work beside so many fine opd officers.
4:14 pm
these officers serve the public trust. i've seen them work extreme hard to maintain and build this trust. there asked to serve our city with integrity. they show up and do it every day. oakland's leadership must live up to the standards we set for those officers. in order to finally bring an end to oakland's federal oversight in not risk the investments we have made for over 20 years it is an absolute requirement that my administration, including the chief of police, be able to work closely with the monitoring team. to speak credibly before the court. chief armstrong has my respect and appreciation for his service to the permit for the cd grew up in and he clearly -- to the department, for the city he grew
4:15 pm
up in. i am the lawyer confident chief armstrong can do the work needed to achieve the vision. today, i have decided to separate from chief leronne armstrong from the city without cause. this was not an easy decision. is one i believe is necessary for the progress to continue. is perceptive because i admire chief armstrong that this has been personally very difficult. this process is reinforced my commitment to making decisions based on the best interests of the department and the city of oakland. not based on personal feelings or relationships. even decision to place a chief armstrong unpaid administered aleve was difficult -- unpaid
4:16 pm
administrative leave was difficult. i did not make the decision because i prejudge the outcome. i did it to keep an open mind. i have not had time to weigh the information. i am sharing my thought process because i want to be as transparent as possible. i realize this means the police commission and i now have the disc will -- the difficult task of finding the police department's next leader and role model. i look forward to working with them. i know they share our commitment in seeking a diverse and serious pool of applicants in finding candidates committed to reform. that have demonstrated the ability to improve community police relationships. i believe to reform is not accountability only. we must also work to reform the systems that have failed. that is something my mistress will focus on in the coming weeks and months.
4:17 pm
i am available for a few questions. >> i will moderate the questions. one at a time. as long as everyone has questions there is no rush and no need to panic. >> i was -- [inaudible] last time there was a discussion between the mayor and the police commission. >> the oakland police department completes an investigation their policy and practices to make disciplinary decisions within 30 days. while i could terminate the chief any time without cause i said at the outset that we should treat all members of opd the same regardless of rank. i am honoring the policy and setting the same standard for the chief. the 30 day timing lapse to
4:18 pm
today. while i hope the commission could review the findings and recommend action it was not able for them to do so before the deadline. i have the most respect for the civilian oversight process. i am responsible for making sure we have leadership at opd. committed to necessary reform to worked with the monitoring team have credibility before the courts. reporter: outside investigators were really concerned about she had the same attorney presenting the sergeant and the same attorney as multiple others including subjects and witnesses. is summoned that opd plan to address? it sounds like a pretty big problem.
4:19 pm
in regards to legal counsel? >> that is something the city will be looking into. reporter: j.r. stone with abc when will the cycle of police chiefs in this city finally stabilize? >> we have acting who will continue to be the acting chief for the department. i do believe our fine officers come to work and shop every day to ensure that the good people of the city of oakland and businesses are safe. they will continue to do that job. kristen: you have been watching live news conference is mayor chantel byers oakland police chief leronne armstrong after having put him on administrative leave over a report concluding there was negligence and misconduct in the way he handled the investigation into eight sergeant -- a sarge
4:20 pm
larry: let's bring in abc 7 news insider phil matier. are you surprised by the outcome? we've been talking about federal oversight for a couple of decades now. >> 20 years. 20 years ago oakland got itself into a situation involving the riders. a group of police strong-arming and planting evidence. the result was a federal semi takeover of the department. it has been ongoing ever since. the federal monitor in charge of receiving oakland -- overseeing oakland is the person behind this. he brought in the investigators to take a look at every chief. he brought in investigators to take a look at the current even terms of disciplinary cases. we have here is a question about the chief, and what the mayor is doing is preempting the police commission we are supposed to
4:21 pm
start taking a look at it tonight. because of a 30 day deadline, a self-imposed thing she put on herself. this will be an interesting thing. it will be played out in the courts. this is not the end of the story. that she 40 has a lawyer. it -- the chief has a tremendous -- as a lawyer. he has germans amount of support in the -- tremendous amount of support in the african-american beauty. and will be moving to public policy. >> he is a native of oakland, with the department over 20 years. how will this go over with the ranking while? -- and file? and the community? for the mayor just one month into her tenure? >> you are summing up a touchy situation for the mayor. the chief is popular he has been around for a long time. as far as the rank-and-file, he is the 10th or 11th chief in
4:22 pm
last 10 years. sometimes you lose count if you add in the acting ones are interim once. it will be a long time before they get a permanent chief in. they have to do a national serve -- search process. the mayor is looking for the ministry to oversee the city. there is a gap there. there will be doing the best they can. the public, the chief was known as somebody on the street. he has ties with the community and very visible. in some ways that is threatening to the mayor because he is a very popular person. he is out there. he is outspoken. unlike past chiefs who were fired and quietly left, he was very vocal from the get-go. he feels the investigation was unfair. to sides the story and was not coming out. the incidents being described as deep cultural problems. were not that certificate that is his story -- were not that significant.
4:23 pm
that is his story. is up to him the mayor make the call and she made it. larry: i want to get your comment regarding one point in particular. the mayor said she was letting go of chief armstrong without cause. repeating that twice. typically if you are hiring someone without cause, the next thing is either a large -- a lawsuit or a large settlement. waves that go into that language surprise you? >> in order to do do because, you have to elevated to a point -- due cause you have to elevated to a point where someone was caused -- crossed their. and not sure if they have covering up evidence or some like that. we're talking about a couple of visits. a collision in a garage right bumper was knocked out of a mercedes. the same officer discharging his firearm in a freight elevator. is not tyre nichols. it is a.j. freund situation -- a
4:24 pm
different situation. rising that causes a different situation. it is without cause. and put it squarely with the mayor. she says she has the power. you could say it's is coincidental. she has decided to cut her losses and try to move on. she will be praised by some, reformers who say this shows a willingness to get out there and be strong, firm in her commitment. she stroke very strongly tonight -- spoke very strongly tonight. her sound club social someone reserve and not looking -- clips will show someone who's reserve and not overly eager. there are two courts, the federal court overseeing it and the court of public opinion. how it plays in public opinion will take a while to see. kristen: no matter how you dice it it is a messy situation. thank you, we appreciate it.
