“#Portland PD squad votes to resign after cop charged<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The riot-control team at the Portland police department decided to quit en masse after another cop was indicted for slugging a photographer.\u00a0<\/p>\n

About 50 members of the department\u2019s elite Rapid Response Team voted to resign at a union meeting Wednesday, days after the indictment of officer Corey Budworth over the Aug. 18 incident, Fox News said in a report<\/a> Thursday.<\/p>\n

\u201cUnfortunately, this decorated public servant has been caught in the crossfire of agenda-driven city leaders and a politicized criminal justice system,\u201d the Portland Police Association said in a statement earlier this week. <\/p>\n

The RRT team members, who include detectives and sergeants, serve in the detail on a volunteer basis and \u201cwill continue in their regular assignments,\u201d the Portland Police Bureau said in a statement Thursday. <\/p>\n

Budworth was indicted by a Multnomah County grand jury on one count of fourth-degree assault related to the incident involving activist and photographer Teri Jacobs.<\/p>\n

Footage of the incident shows Budworth striking Jacobs in the back of the head with a police baton while cops tried to quell violent demonstrations in the wake of the police custody death of George Floyd in Minneapolis last year. <\/p>\n

The Oregon city saw some of the nation\u2019s most violent and ongoing protests.<\/p>\n

Budworth was later charged in the incident.<\/p>\n

\u201cLaw enforcement is held to a higher standard and must constantly strive to live up to that standard,\u201d Portland Chief Chuck Lovell said in a statement Tuesday.<\/p>\n

\u201cPPB has processes of accountability in place that take time to complete,\u201d the chief said. \u201cAs chief, I have a role to play in the Police Bureau\u2019s internal process associated with this case and there I cannot provide additional details.\u201d<\/p>\n

But the city police union said Budworth was just doing his job and said the cop \u201cwas forcefully knocked to the ground\u201d during the unruly protest, Fox said. <\/p>\n

The union said Jacobs \u201cfell to the ground\u201d during the encounter.<\/p>\n

\u201cReasonably believing that she was getting back up to re-engage in her unlawful activities, Officer Budworth employed one last baton push to try to keep her on the ground, which accidentally struck Ms. Jacobs in the head,\u201d the union said. <\/p>\n

Jacobs\u2019 lawyer, however, said his client \u201cwas brutally beaten in the head, neck, back, and face\u201d by Budworth\u2019s baton during the unrest. The city has since agreed to a $50,000 civil settlement for Jacobs in the case, Fox said.\n <\/p><\/div>\n
