The chair of the Oakland Police Commission Doctor tie pharma lely says they canceled thursdays meeting because not enough commissioners attended folks who for whatever reasons decided to abstain from to possibly prevent us from voting recommend any chief. Lilly says she knew this would happen. So they preemptively planned a town hall to ask the community if they think the commission should recommend the mayor to give former police chief Leronne Armstrong his job back. Most people said before the commission saying the only candidate that should be considered is the former strictly for chief armstrong. I believe in him hes going to do a great job up with whatever it takes to getting back. We will the people oakland. We want chief armstrong instated. The verdict is should be immediately return to is jack. He should not have to go through an application. Jenny ziliak held up a sign that read. I support mayor thao.

She has authority to make that decision and its a done deal. The chair of the Oakland Police Commission Hopes to have enough attendance. They can finally make a vote on october. 12th about whether or not they want to recommend the mayor to reinstate chief armstrong. Im sara stinson reporting in oakland. Back to you. And while armstrong was initially fired because of that federal monitor report this month, Appeals Court arbitrator cleared him of any wrongdoing.

But at the same time, hold a standard holder stander of making sure that we create the reforms that are demanded of us by the federal oversight. And so that means that chief must be able to work with the federal monitor and the federal judge. An unfortunately, i dont believe that that would be the case with mister armstrong.
