Oakland’s ex-police chief, LeRonne Armstrong, was exonerated by a hearing officer who reviewed circumstances surrounding his termination and sided with the former top cop. The hearing officer, judge Maria Rivera, concluded that the city and Armstrong should meet to discuss ways to resolve the dispute, “including the possibility of reinstatement” of Armstrong as chief. Judge Rivera’s full 55-page report was obtained and reviewed by KRON4 on Tuesday. Armstrong was fired without cause by Oakland Mayor Sheng Thao in February. The former top cop said he never violated any Oakland Police Department policies, deserves his job back, and proclaimed Rivera’s report as “vindication.”
