Correction: US Attorney, not a District Attorney.
Technically he wasn't fired, Berman resigned after Barr claimed he convinced Trump to fire him. Trump then distanced himself and said he had no involvement in the matter, adding that this was all up to the AG to handle.
Berman then resigned but prevented Barr from installing his loyalist Jay Clayton in the position. Berman's deputy is now the SDNY Acting US Attorney.
Something I would also note is that Barr explicitly usurped presidential powers.
Barr said "I wanted the opportunity to choose a distinguished New York lawyer, Jay Clayton"
For the record, Clayton has zero experience as a federal prosecutor so Barr's intentions here are pretty obvious.

Colorado reform law ends immunity for police in civil misconduct cases
By Keith Coffman
DENVER (Reuters) - Colorado Governor Jared Polis on Friday signed into law a bill to remove the shield of legal immunity that has long protected police officers from civil suits for on-the-job misconduct, a measure civil libertarians hailed as landmark legislation.
The Colorado state legislature passed the sweeping police accountability bill last week in the wake of nationwide protests over unfair treatment of racial minorities by law enforcement, sparked by the death of an unarmed Black man under the knee of a white Minneapolis policeman last month.
Polis, a first-term Democrat, took the 155th anniversary of Juneteenth, celebrating the abolition of slavery in the United States, to formally enact the law.
The American Civil Liberties Union hailed enactment of the measure, saying Colorado became one of the first states in the nation to strip police officers of a legal defense known as qualified immunity. The ACLU called the police accountability law as a whole historic.
The statute additionally requires police agencies statewide to adopt the use of body-worn cameras by their officers within three years, and bans choke holds by officers in restraining individuals.
Carotid-pressure holds, similar to the technique that Minneapolis police officer Derek Chauvin used when he knelt on the neck of George Floyd in a fatal encounter on May 25, is also outlawed.
The legislation won the support from the state’s police chiefs and county sheriffs’ organizations, which said in a joint written statement that many of the policies contained in the new law are already in place at the local level.
The U.S. Supreme Court recognized qualified immunity 50 years ago to protect government officials from frivolous lawsuits. Attorneys representing police have said the doctrine ensures officers can make split-second decisions in dangerous situations without worrying about being sued later.
Critics have said the doctrine too often lets police brutality go unpunished. The high court this week declined to hear several cases challenging qualified immunity assertions on behalf of police.

1000000 were supposed to show up.
Maybe 20 or 30000 did.
Why was there one maggot wearing the maga hat and a mask?
This clown is just entertaining his circus with his garbage stand up routine.
Don't this dumb son of a ***** understand?

What do you make of Barr's intentions given the following facts?
-Barr unequivocally lied about Berman, who then released a statement denying Barr's lie. Berman's statement emphasized that the office's most important cases would continue under his leadership and specifically added that they would not be impeded.
-In a position overseeing high profile investigations of Trump associates, Barr tried to install a replacement with zero experience as a federal prosecutor.
-Barr said he "wanted the opportunity to choose" a replacement
-Barr has given no explanation for his actions
