Anything to get out Thao... Might be messy, might be that he wants a pay out, but he was wronged and she's incredibly incompetent
She handed common the key to the city. He's a rapper. She can't be all that Wong 😅
You’re not too smart are you? That chief was incompetent. Only because hes black that yall think he was wronged. He didn’t improve the theft in Oakland . No mayor did and we are only blaming Thao because she’s Asian .
Blame the former mayor for firing every mayor we had . Ann Kirkpatrick was only good chief Oakland had
"Oakland has some severe problems."
So true...
Oakland is a liberal mess!
Lawrong sucked.
Sheng Tao also sucks.
Two idiots fighting with each other, and the hard working taxpayer ends up paying.
lol what rhymes with trigger?
@@brucegreen5781Ritz Saltine Criggers??
Oakland is a no go zone
I am born and raised here and Oakland has gotten out of control. Our Police need to step up their game.
Bad thing about being born and raised in the Bay Area is you're literally have no idea what life is like outside of a town that doesn't cater to every degenerate
Did vote Democrat?
If you did, you're getting exactly what you voted for.
People are absolute idiots to think having no police was going to magically heal everybody.
What a fkn joke.
GOOD!!!!! I hope he wins big!!!! Both the mayor and the DA need to GO!!!!
You didn’t do your job and tried to sue
No he was fried because he was trying to do his job and Mayor Thao does not like cops who do their job.. She even fired the lady that took his spot right after and guess what? That lady won her unlawful termination lawsuit as well. Mayor Thao is just misusing her power to smear the police as much as possible
Blame the mayor but not the people doing the crime
Oakland is lost.
Once the A's leave, you better get going too if you're still a resident.
The dude was covering up crimes his officers were committing...this is wild he wont go away.
These police chiefs do not look tough on crime. They look cuddly, cute, and welcoming.
It’s not the police. It’s the laws
😂😂😂 what is looking though!!
Yeah if you had a tough looking police officer, the Asians would be offended. Everyone needs to look like a office worker now
That's what the Bay Area wants, you got to have some whitewashed Asian in control or else a white police chief would be endlessly called racist.
Whether the firing was right or wrong, this person just needs to move on. The East Bay is a very political place which means any high-level job will be unstable.
It shouldn't take this much time to get a new police chief. Oakland needs one now. Crime is out of control.
Ya this guy was a s***ty cop too but the Mayor is completely out of her league and has no idea how to manage a Denny's let alone the City of Oakland. Oakland will keep getting worse as long as Auntie Pam protects her loveable band of criminals.
Even when they do it won’t be effective the politicians there and the DA are soft on crime that’s a huge part of the problem.
It’s called blacktivities in Oakland no matter how good the leadership it’s hard to handle these EBT shoppers
So true
😂 bro
Go apply elsewhere
Our Major in Oakland is definitely run by other people and their interests..
That city is so out of control 😂all the crash dummies shining
He's part of the problem and so is she.
The last one did that and won
i see why he got fired, he out of shape. look at that dad bod.
Fire him
the max payout should be the total amt the guy got paid......
Former chief Bruh, Stay Up Ma Breh
oakland residents act like the chief did a good job. lol
sorry chief your an at Will employee they mayor is head of her city,OAKLAND NEEDS A SHERIFF ASAP
Ghetto Jackpot Denied.
Fire the Police Commission.
Laronne Armstrong was a soft ass chief, that’s why he can’t get a job elsewhere .
Oakland needs to fix some of the problems going on now. The police department needs to resolved crime problems now which is happening almost daily . The mayor of Oakland is doing okay she wants the city to be better off and wants to find solutions.
Our Mayor is not doing okay. She literally dropped the ball on a state grant to fight small business theft because she prioritized a vacation, under her watch a 1000 911 applicants were not even screened even though she said it was a priority, she can agree on a police chief leading to one of the largest crime spikes in the history of city….
No he was fired because he sucks at his job
Why is he suing Tsing Tao? Its a very good beer😂😂😂
great beer, I use it to take the paint off my fishing boat hull.
This former chief of police sucks. After he took over the police dept, crime shit up and he has no clue how to tackle the problems. I hope he get nothing from this lawsuit. He is useless anyway
Armstrong, stop your whining. Oakland is moving on, and it isn't about you.
Chip on his shoulder
can't find the job, that why he sue the city to get money,
He is a High School coach now for a basketball team. You can see it on TH-cam.
stop caring about peooles feelings and do some work
Stereotypical... looking for a payout for not doing their job.
Your ignorance is stereotypical dumaz
lol what a clown🐵💩🍉
Oh great, more rich people sparring with other rich people. I'm CERTAIN that this will help out Oaktown bigtime. Absolutely sure of it.
LOL a tale as old as time! And the people of Oakland won't vote any differently and nothing will change.
Sheng Thao says it all. Asia owns the bay area.
just work hard, don’t spend all your hard earned money, respect your elders respect other people
respect other people’s property
take home your trash and throw it in the dumpster bin.
take off your shoes before going into the house to keep all the dirtyness outside. always study and learn. learn from elders and people with experience. eat good and sleep good. rinse and repeat. anyone can be asian tbh.
@RooseveltTruong scowl at everybody, keep every piece of plastic Tupperware and fast food condiment in your drawers. Screw your renters out of their security deposit every chance you get even if they're respectable people. Deny people common courtesy, and treat people like objects of income. You're right anybody can be and it's a good thing we're not... oh let's not forget more car accidents per capita than any race, and never admitting fault
Top cop?? Don't make me laugh. Mayors have the right to fire the chief for any reason. Now, he's just trying to collect some tax payer money. It has nothing to do with his reputation. Pick up your marbles and see if you can get hired somewhere else.
He was covering up crimes his officers were committing, Oakland is the only city that will hire him.
BS, she wanted him gone since she was a city council member. Did not see the leaked text from her phone wanting an Asian police chief? I’m sure this will come out during the civil trial.
He was a horrible chief. Very anti 2A and would not let us Oakland residents get a concealed weapon permit
Blk vs asian
Blk vs Azn
Asian loves that BBC! Lol
Definitely was a witch hunt hope he wins
So you don't think covering up crimes your officers were committing is a valid reason for dismissal?!
He was a horrible chief. Very anti 2A and would not let us Oakland residents get a concealed weapon permit
@@mrsleep0000 didn't know about those things
why he still crying?
he was fired cus he was black.
i Played College Basketball against LeRonne Armstrong in 1990, He was Gritty on the Hoop Court
This guy is a joke, he got his job because of his race card
Sheng Thao must reinstate Armstrong now! His absence is the reason for the spike in crime!! He is a king who can perform miracles!! He alone can solve Oakland’s crime problem!! Reinstate him now, especially since it’s Black History Month!!
We got horse cops and sheriffs department. Things will get better now
Mayor Sheng Thao is a class act. However, you might not agree with her politics but she is doing a good. Oakland just have too many problems.
And Mayor Sheng Thao and DA Pamela Price are two of them.
Doing good? How so? She defunded the police, paired up with DA Price to not use incarceration as a form of punishment while they are in office, lowered cash bail, record high plea deals, passed laws to defend criminals rather than the citizens, and now Oakland is in the top 8 cities with the highest crime rates just in the last year alone. Oakland has many problems and ppl who still defend her are the root cause of these problems
Sure and that is why she is being recalled.
Get that money my brother 💪🏽
