Entire Portland Police Rapid Response Team Resigns After Officer Indicted for Breaking Up Antifa Riot
Human Events ^ | June 17, 2021 | Jack Posobiec

Following the criminal indictment of a fellow officer, the entire Portland Police Rapid Response Team made the unanimous decision to resign, according to police sources via Portland news outlet KXL.

Cory Budworth, 40, is the first officer in the county to be prosecuted for using force during a violent protest.

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.

Indeed, Budworth was indicted for breaking up an Antifa riot in 2020, charged with misdemeanor fourth-degree assault. He was accused of “unlawfully, knowingly and recklessly causing physical injury” to Teri Jacobs on August 18.

The police should also make a list of officials who they will not protect or respond to any calls from them.

Yeah, well essentially NONE of the antifa/blm criminals were indicted for their crimes because the democrats in charge WANT the criminals to overrun the city and destroy it and then they will run to the federal government crying and begging for bailout money.

Instead they throw the cops in jail for trying to do what cops do.

I hope the city falls apart.

They are in the police department but volunteer for this assignment. They still get paid.

That last shove...maybe a problem.

He should have cuffed her. Not a problem IMHO.

Let the city burn down. All LEOs should just get out of town. Who is John Gault?

Let them go full Killing-fields on each other. It is better than having to shot them ourselves.

“what exactly is a ‘volunteer’ officer?”

They only get paid when they work, and work when needed.

Oregon has many resources. I don’t want the commie bastards to have it. OR has had stolen elections for more than 20 years via all mail in and other stuff. I posted a thread about states with mail in voting, motor voter registration, sanctuary status, allowing illegals to get DL etc. All these states have stolen elections for a long time. I’ll find the link and post it, lot of info there.

I’m pretty sure it’s “volunteer duty” that they are paid for as part of their regular policeman’s salary, not “volunteer work” that they aren’t paid for.

They are all dirty top to bottom. The rank and file followed illegal orders and broke numerous laws, all without prosecution. There was not ONE-ONE whistle blower about the illegal and ongoing coup efforts by the FBI against Trump.

The FBI has to be considered enemies of freedom, the Bill of Rights and the average American at this point. They do not love their country, they love their jobs and agency. They are the states muscle against anyone who promotes America and freedom. Thugs with badges. Thirty years ago I couldn’t imagine thinking or saying these things. The FBI/DOJ destroyed their reputations and credibility, this is ALL ON THEM.

Pretty much.

I think Ted Nugent is still a ‘on call’ officer of the Oakland County Sheriff Dept.
