what exactly is a ‘volunteer’ officer?
does that mean they dont get paid?
“They need to get the hell out of the Police Department.”
They need to get out of Oregon
The only FBI agents I’d trust right now are Mulder and Scully.
And I’m not too sure about Scully!
> Gonna need confirmation it is actually true that an officer was indicted for breaking up Antifa riot. <
He was indicted for striking a woman with his baton while she was on the ground.
The woman was standing in a road while the police were advancing. So the cop pushed her aside. No problem.
Then the woman fell. Again, no problem.
Then the cop struck the woman while she was down (it was a two-handed baton shove, actually). Then the cop just walked away.
That last shove...maybe a problem.
Video here:
Maybe the DOJ aka DOI ... Department of Injustice will ... oh wait, who am I kidding
You misunderstood....
From the original article:
“The Rapid Response Team is a group of volunteer officers who respond to civil disobedience, demonstrations and riots. At the time of the incident, Officer Budworth was assigned to the Rapid Response Team for crowd control.”
They’re cops that volunteered for that duty.
I read yesterday that the baton was a drum baton with pink fluffy ends for show; she was hit with a fluffy baton is all. The cop was in a band.
The Antifa jerks should take this opportunity to burn the city down. No loss.
I agree with that. That would be even better.
I think “volunteer” in this context means they have volunteered for riot control duty. So are pulled away from their normal duties when a riot is declared. I’m sure they are being paid for this.
Meanwhile nobody is allowed to mention the name Ashley Babbitt and her killer is exempted from even being named.
MOGA.
Make Oregon Great Again.
Why should the commiepuke devils have it. They only run things because they steal every election here.
About 10 seconds on Google should confirm it for you
They are Portland cops that volunteer to be on the team.
I also read this yesterday…
In March, the city settled with Jacobs for $50,000 plus $11,000 in legal fees, court records show.
In other words the “victim” was just given some shut up and go away money.
Yeah, my point as well.
Darn near every police and sheriffs department are struggling to recruit applicants. I don’t know what they pay and pension package is for Portland cops, but it has to out of this world for any of them to stay.
Amen!
There were approx 50 members. Most LEO organizations give some special pay, but apparently these guys didn’t get anything. It probably got them a lot of OT, but that’s about it. You’d think more cops would catch on that the city/state will not have your back, even though they are the ones sending you into an impossible situation.
Yep. Beautiful part of the country.
MELA - Make elections legitimate again. They have been stealing them everywhere for a long time I believe.
