She also poked holes in Armstrong’s arguments that he was fired as a whistleblower, and found no evidence to substantiate his allegations that the federal monitor is improperly padding his own pocket by continuing to oversee the department’s reform efforts. And Rivera also did not fully endorse Armstrong’s claims that he was fired for exercising his First Amendment rights.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>Rivera does, however, take space in the report to praise Armstrong’s role in moving his department toward independence, writing, “it is noteworthy that, after twenty years of oversight under more than ten police chiefs, the sustainability period was finally entered during chief Armstrong’s tenure.”\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>[ad fullwidth]\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>In a statement to KQED, Armstrong hailed the findings as vindication.\u003c/p>\n\u003cp>“This report is not a surprise to me.
