oakland police chief is out of a job. just moments ago, the mayor fired leronne armstrong. >>> good afternoon, i'm audrey, and welcome to the nbc 4 news at 4:30. the mayor made the first big decision this afternoon, and she has just fired the police chief. in a news conference that just ended a moment ago, the mayor fired the police chief without cause. she had originally suspended him last month on the accusations that he had mishandled a case involving officer misconduct and this is hours before a meeting on how to punish the chief, and the newly formed committee was to fire the chief, impose some sort of penalty or nothing at all. a 54-page page complaint held him to fail to hold the officers of misconduct, and a fair and thorough disciplinary misconduct, and this is when two officers were engaged in a secret romantic misconduct, and they hit a innocent bystander, and then when it was described months later when armstrong said he did not know about the hit-and-run, and chose not the discipline either officer, and he sa

the search for the next police chief is officially on. >> the city has had 10 chiefs in the past 10 yearste today, the mar fired chief armstrong without cause but it appears there is a cause. this all stems from an independent report that found chief armstrong mishandled cases of officer misconduct. the mayor says after that report came out, chief armstrong made several statements that troubled her and she lost confidence in him. >> this is not an easy decision but i will believe it is necessary for progress to continue. it is precisely because i admire chief armstrong that this has been purpose personally very difficult but reinforced my commitment to make decisions based on the best interest of the department and the city of oakland and not based on personal feelings or relationships. >> tonight the fired chief is firing back saying that it is a bad decision, that it is unjustified and unfair and while he does have plenty of supporters, more people are starting to say he made the wrong move. >> reporter: the now fired police armstrong reacting tonight now that he is out of a job going o

now the chief is not here with the former chief is not here at this rally.in fact, he's meeting with his attorney. to determine next steps, which could include filing a lawsuit alleging wrongful termination and retaliation. live in oakland. henry lee ktvu fox. two news. two quick questions number one in the you've covered oakland for decades, any indication as to the next police chief. might they be someone inside the department? might they go outside opd? and secondly, i know you've talked with laurent armstrong a number of times in the past month. during all this turmoil. we got a statement from his lawyer. is there indication when you might be able to talk with him one on one? yeah i had made that request today. the chief is meeting with his attorney as we speak now, i did ask the mayor yesterday. gasia after her news conference whether she prefers an internal war external candidate, she says she just right wants the best person for the job. as you know, gasia. we've had inside and outside chiefs come in, and they've left in frustration or fired. this wil

the chief has nothing to lose. quite honestly, i mean, i applaud him for getting his his message out there. i think it's important that somebody hears it. because if nobody else heard it, you fill in the blanks with things that may not be true. that's for the mayor. she made no mention of the chief monday at an unrelated news conference at city hall, she left without taking any questions and spokeswoman tells me the mayor had no comment. now the monitor does not discuss his work as far as the police chief while on leave. he's met with stakeholders, including members of the oakland police commissioner, and this afternoon civil rights attorneys jim channon and john burress. so far, no word yet on if or when the chief will be back on the job. live in the newsroom. henry lee ktvu fox two news. so henry yeah, the chief is on administrative leave. what about the captain and the sergeant that were at the center of all this? that started this whole thing. what has happened to them? the sergeant accused of these two inciden

they know chief armstrong and many of the other chiefs and they will take a big pause. >> it's disheartening because it's a gray area. the potential is there. is this the end of leronne armstrong 's law-enforcement career or would another department hire him right away or soon after? >> i didn't have -- applied it three agencies. i was considered a finalist after i was fired but firing in oakland, this was a huge barrier. i haven't been able to land cities that i would be interested in. so i'm very disappointed by this myself. i would still like to go back in. so he may have a hard time. >> a conversation, have you spoken with him or what would you say if you spoke with him today? >> i think that he obviously knows that i understand the pain of which he obviously is in pain. there's a lot of embarrassment when you're the police chief of a major city the firing is in private. it makes big news. there's humiliation with that. i believe this is what i've seen in him right now. he's trying to process all of that as well as his future, his name. the big thing will be the hit to the name so what i

so today, i have decided to separate from chief leronne armstrong without cause. i want to be very clear that this is not a disciplinary action, and i have lost confidence in chief armstrong to ensure that we move forward and impact the vision for the city of oakland. and now, she added that the monitor of the chief of police for over a decade was disappointed in the report saying that it demonstrates cultural disappointment in the department, and it reads that after the relevant facts that i was a loyal and ekttive reform over the police department, and it is equally clear that i have committed no misconduct, and my termination is unjustified and unfair. a chief spokesperson said that he was notified just shortly before the press conference about this decision, and for now, the mayor says that chief darron allison is going to lead the department and of course, there will be a nationwide search. >> a lot of turmoil there, christy, and we have done in many times, and this is the latest shake-up. leronne armstrong has been the 10th police chief in ten years. >> as w

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. 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 becau

i want to thank chief modlin and chief chavez for being here. i just want to point out, though, that part of what we're dealing with here in this hearing and in lots of other discussions about this subject is the narrative being woven that is a false narrative. we need more personnel at the ports. we had that opportunity in the omnibus. and on this side of the aisle we all supported it. but on the other side, that isn't the case. so you can talk a good game about we need to beef up our capacity here and there. but you had an opportunity to vote for $7.2 billion for border patrol operations. $65 million for 300 new border patrol agents. $60 million for c.b.p. person at ports of entry -- person at ports of entry -- personnel at ports of entry. if we're going to be consistent and talk about the need to beef up the border, you have to vote for it. otherwise it's just hot air. another part of the narrative is we have all these people crossing the border and they violate the law multiple times and never show up, of course, for court hearings. and that
