Portland perishes under the weight of left-wing political correctness
A unit within the Portland Police Department known as the “Rapid Response Team” has voted unanimously to resign after one of its members was criminally indicted over his response to riots that occurred in the city back in August 2020.Oh, such baloney. It's clear the district attorney's office is looking for every possible excuse to indict the guy for trying to prevent violence, and now, things are becoming even worse in a city dominated by left-wing extremists. The city's certainly looking doomed, and could be one of the first places in the USA to collapse in the future.
Sources within the police bureau told The Post Millennial that they are not okay with Officer Corey Budworth being indicted and charged with one count of fourth degree assault for merely doing his job in responding to the civil unrest, demonstrations and riots that occurred in Portland.
Multnomah District Attorney Mike Schmidt’s revealed earlier in the week that Budworth’s charge is a misdemeanor.
According to reports, Budworth and the Rapid Response Team had responded to a call on the night of Aug. 18, 2020. Antifa militants were throwing Molotov cocktails into the County Sheriff’s Department Headquarters, and the unit merely attempted to stop them.
“In this case, we allege that no legal justification existed for Officer Budworth’s deployment of force, and that the deployment of force was legally excessive under the circumstances,” reads a statement from Schmidt.
“My office will continue to do everything we can to ensure justice is done without error or delay and that we make sure our work and practices are rooted in fairness and equity.”
