Dozens of Portland police officers resign from team that responds to protests after member is indicted

About 50 officers assigned to the Portland police department's crowd control team resigned one day after one of the team's officers was indicted for allegedly using his department-issued baton to assault a protester last summer.

The wholesale resignation of the police department's Rapid Response Team took place after a Multnomah County grand jury handed down an indictment Wednesday charging Officer Corey Budworth with fourth-degree battery. All the officers who resigned their positions on the team returned to their regular assignments.

Bye bitches!

Assault? It’s called controlling a pos rioter.

Good let the idiots suffer who want to defund the police

Look at the bright side: rents in downtown Portland are at their lowest in years😂😂😂

The mayor of Portland screwed up when he allowed this to start, once the ball got rolling it's hard to stop it. Shame.

Good riddance! We don’t need officers who condone excessive force and brutality.

We are witnessing the breakdown of The Rule of Law in this area of our country.

Quit the force completely cowards. McDonald's is hiring..

Portland is saved! Their crime is drop so much now!

Some blue line garbage! Protect their own who are criminals!!

DerenicByrd Yeah... they're still cops. So, who cares? DefundThePolice

All I read is bullshit comments about how glad people feel these cops are leaving and others can just be hired. But not one of you have said “you’re going to apply to become a cop”, I wonder why? None of you want to change the system, you just want to cry about it

50 less useless cop good

Exactly the ones you want to quit. Hey, they can go work for a smaller police department…oh yeah, those aren’t the ones with openings.

This can not happen in Nigeria. Instead, PoliceNG and MBuhari will order for the execution of more protesters. May God help Nigeria.

That is a good win in my opinion. They are birds of the feathers hence why they resigned. Thier resignation will create space for 50 newly well trained young officers to be recruited into the system.

I'd quit on a ungrateful city to.

They didn’t fucking resign. They’re still with the force. Jesus fucking christ dude!

None will be missed

Guess they didn't need the money.

Ok, replace them!!!

go away. 7 11 is hiring. They ain't that important or skilled. I expect they are finding out that fact.

See? Police can police themselves...

i wouldnt want to be a police officer thats for sure. you put a lot of hardwork in exchange for a little thanks.

This is misleading. The officers didn't resign from their positions, they resigned doing crowd control.

Good riddance.

Great opportunity to revamp and rehire

Wait until all of the cops in Portland are gone. Let me see how that works out for them. These idiots will just start complaining about being robbed and beaten and no one is helping them.

Good. Let Portland 🔥

HunterJCullen Good it’s a start.

HunterJCullen First demotion in pay. Then fire. Arrogance is NOT an asset when you are sworn an Oath to Protect & Serve. Humility is...

Wrong sword to fall on. If you want to beat protesters senseless, fight in the ufc

Good. Fuck them.

Good. Now fire their leaders & rehire the entire department from scratch with an emphasis on improved police culture and vetting hires for racist and extremist views before hiring.The Officer in Charge Should be an Ex Army Officer of the highest standards, intellectual included.

Good for them!

Sad

Good!

FuckingLilBitchSnowflakes. Just as you’d expect of childish bullies who melt under the scrutiny that they above all must not break the law…

Fuk em 🐷

The videos that came out of Portland protests last summer were horrific. Officers that resigned over indictment might think they are in the right, but they are giving us exactly what we wanted. Happy to see them go.

Law and order people stand with Law Enforcement. Criminals do not want law!

Uh...doesn't the CONSTITUTION guarantee the right to peacefully protest?
