Dozens of Portland police officers resign from team that responds to protests after member is indicted
CNN
A day after a Portland police officer was indicted for allegedly beating a protester, about 50 officers in the department resigned en masse from a specialized law enforcement unit tasked with responding to protests and civil unrest.
The resignation of the police department's Rapid Response Team (RRT), took place after a Multnomah County grand jury handed down an indictment Wednesday, charging Officer Corey Budworth with fourth-degree battery. Budworth is accused of shoving photographer Teri Jacobs to the ground and using a baton to strike her during a protest last August -- an incident that was caught on video and posted to social media.More Related News
