Oakland Police Department Chief Anne Kirkpatrick has been fired after three years on the job, the Oakland Police Commission confirmed late Thursday.
The decision to remove Kirkpatrick as the city's top cop was unanimous and was made during a closed-session meeting. Measure LL, which voters approved in 2016, allows the volunteer members of the commission with the mayor’s permission to dismiss the police chief without cause.
The head of Oakland's Police Commission Regina Jackson said she made the motion to dismiss the chief.
There are a lot of improvements, but the disparities continue to exist and there are a series of other issues that have just contributed to losing the confidence," said Jackson. "We didn't think that she was going to be the most effective chief in Oakland."
During a news conference following the announcement Mayor Libby Schaaf said she supported the decision while also praising the progress made by Oakland’s first female police chief.
In a statement, she said, "As Mayor, it is my duty to determine when the trust between The Police Commission and the Police Chief has become irrevocably lost and prevents Oakland from moving forward."

Good luck to Oakland. No chief will satisfy them, so they should be left to themselves.
That is or was the Top Cop of Oakland? Seriously? Looks more like a Bag Lady on Skid Row.
Good grief.
Ohh im sure an angry black woman will do.
Crime fell during her tenure. Maybe that was a problem; maybe she fell afoul of diverse (i.e. black) elements of Oakland’s population.

Was she not pro antifa enough? Not gay enough? Not in tune with blm enough? Not anti Trump enough? Not pro trespasser enough?
As long as she overlooks the missteps of a certain large segment of Oakland’s population.
Did they ask for her uniform and car like that other guy?
Was she not pro antifa enough? Not gay enough? Not in tune with blm enough? Not anti Trump enough? Not pro trespasser enough?

You win the prize. She’s not crazy enough for them.
A classic example of the dangers of a pure democracy. Volunteer Police Commissions are notoriously anti-cop. If you give them hiring/firing authority chaos follows.
old white woman bad even though by the looks of her she was probably as liberal as they come. They need a black women lesbian social justice warrior to free the criminals so wrongly convicted because of the color of their skin
Too bad a former local DA (across the oakland bridge to nan fransh*thole) isn’t looking for work right now. SHE crazy.
“Was she not pro antifa enough? Not gay enough? Not in tune with blm enough? Not anti Trump enough? Not pro trespasser enough?”
You need to learn how to read orwellian-speak.
The reason is clearly stated here.
“There are a lot of improvements, but the disparities continue to exist”... “
The logic goes something like this...
Premise - all races are equal.
Conclusion - Therefore there should be proportionally equal number of arrests of blacks and whites.
If there are more arrests of blacks than whites, then the system is racist.
That’s what her “disparities” refers to.
Where the heck do they dig these people up from? The most bizarre gets the job? We know what’s coming, right? A black lesbian woman with a chip on her shoulder and Oakland will be given to the dogs. Watch and see.
Yep. I couldn’t stand to be surrounded by all those bastards.
It’s Friday night and Pelosi will be stepping over the crap on the sidewalks on her way to dinner. That’s just sooooo Progressive.
Lemme guess...too many “youths of color” were being arrested? Or maybe the Oakland PD was tipping off ICE?
