of oakland's chief leronne armstrong who was put on paid administrative leave. >> the day after report looked

into 2 incidents of misconduct committed by one police sergeant. this disciplinary action involving the oakland police chief is just the latest chapter in a long and complicated history for opd. the report released this week revealed the results of an investigation into 2 separate incidents that involved the same officer and fraud allegations that the internal affairs division is omitting misconduct from reports under the chiefs watch. armstrong is the city's 11th police chief in 14 years since 2009, no one has filled the position for more than 3 years. and kirkpatrick served as chief for 3 years between 2017 2020 when she was fired. >> that decision was made by the oakland police commission and she sued the city of oakland and she received a one and a half million dollar settlement. and and kirkpatrick now joins us live with her thoughts on this latest chief, as i'll call you, as former thanks for

joining us. what do you make of this whole situation where the current oakland police chief is on administrative leave because one officer was involved in a hit and run accident allegedly hit and run accident in his parking garage in san francisco and didn't report it. and then is accused of having his service revolver being fired in a freight elevator inside opd headquarters and not reporting that either. and then the chief apparently not taking any action against this officer for an extended period of time until this revelation just came out. what's going on over there? >> yes, well, first of all, thank you for having me on. and i miss you loved being in oakland and i did very much. it was still an honor to be the chief, a place of all planned. so i do miss with respect was going on over there. it's it was in a gracious of that the misconduct at issue was a gracious that has been determined to already be

sustained. and the unfortunate play that the current shape of place did not apparently do the level of due diligence that was necessary to make sure that the reports have been read. the questions have been asked and then the make a decision on his part as to whether or not to sustain underlying is what is the issue at hand. and so i can understand why the mayor made the decision that she did. it is not a final decision and we don't know what that final decision has, but it's unfortunate for him personally. chief armstrong and it's unfortunate for the department and of course, the community. is there any potential argument the chief could bring up in his defense? >> absolutely. i think this is due process situation. he should be given complete and full due process. and i don't know what that argument is. i do know that being placed on

administrative leave us a very significant step. >> i cannot think of and then just re about plan police shape that has been placed on administrative leave. i was not placed on administrative leave. >> outcome of do you think the chief will be able to return from something like this in the report is that he didn't read the review of that. the police sergeant who allegedly committed these 2 acts did not look at videotape that showed a the crash in particular. is this something that is chief can recover from an resume, his duties? i mean, it's going to be und%r a cloud moving for work. >> i think the clouds will be anytime that you have an event like you know, people are going to assign meaning to it and it will be very difficult for the recovery rate. can it happen? absolutely. and that's what due process is there for. but it is difficult to recover from because it had to do. i

believe the terminology that they used in the report was dereliction of duty and that has been sustained, which i understand was a stain is going to be difficult. you know what the final outcome would be. but, you know, that's why i feel sorry for and the department over. and although you can't really know what exactly you might say in his own defense, can you explain a little bit more about the inner workings of opd and any police department when it comes to particular situation like this. >> and at what point a police chief finds out about this kind of misconduct and then takes appropriate action thereafter. well, misconduct, they underline misconduct that hand was a gracious and of us. >> and in a pit it's it deserved the level of attention. i do know that when you're dealing with discipline matters, you're dealing with people and that could affect their and that is deserving of

your attention. reading the reports in asking the hard questions and some is not a significant, but but the issue at hand here was clearly a significant issue. so any time of it just deserves. but tension to reading the materials asking the questions, making sure that you're making you need to hold each other accountable it that's what the the failing as hears the lack of holding others accountable. what just different than my particular termination i was almost the reverse of that. we're always trying to hold others accountable. there was retaliation associated with that. but i was trying to report accountability. but without that, you're you're going you're never going to get to reform. >> we're running out of time. but on that you were the
