All 50 of Portland police’s highly trained rapid response unit voted unanimously to resign on Wednesday during a union meeting in response to the recent indictment of Officer Corey Budworth for allegedly assaulting a photographer with his baton during as an overnight riot broke out last August.
"Unfortunately, this decorated public servant has been caught in the crossfire of agenda-driven city leaders and a politicized criminal justice system," the Portland Police Association said in an initial statement Tuesday after a Multnomah County grand jury indicted Budworth on one count of fourth-degree assault related to an incident that occurred on Aug. 18, 2020.

Portland had a "rapid response unit", but riots and mayhem went on for what, three or four months. Doesn't sound like a very "rapid" response to me, but I wasn't there.

The people of Portland are getting exactly what they want, and voted for.

Portland needs to understand what they want. The whole cop shop should pack up and really, actually, and resolutely resign. Give the voters of Portland what they so desperately want, whatever that may be.

Why would anyone who wants to "protect and serve" as a police officer still remain on the police force in a literally insane asylum like Portland?
Good for them bailing out on this mess. When the politics gets that oppressive, time to go. Nothing to be gained from being mistreated by the Idiots-in-Charge of this loony bin.

On Tucker last night, Portland crime is up 800%. This will knock it up over the 1000% mark. Mayor Ted Wheeler, may you get all you wished for.

This administration wants to get rid of cops. Then they can put their own federal police force in. They want to do this to the whole country. Those “cops” won’t be wearing red white and blue !

#1, I am sure their hands were massively tied by their "woke" city government!!!
I truly hope this is the wave of the future. The only thing that is going to wake these lie-beral idiots up is when they realize that the men and women in blue are the fine line between them and anarchy getting to them. Nothing is a faster "wake up call" then your getting attacked, your women getting raped and abused, your children getting shot, and your property being taken or destroyed.

#2 is exactly correct. I have a sister who lives in Portland, she thinks this is a good thing.

It was a great city to visit and about 10 years ago things changed and have only gotten worse.
Today the downtown area is a cesspool with walking zombies everywhere.
The Democrat Mayor is spineless and the city council does not like police .
Elections have consequences.
Enjoy sleeping in the bed you sheet in.
You electorate sheep deserve it.

I'm surprised that the normal citizens of these besieged cities haven't shown their feckless leaders their anger at their inaction in very direct ways.

Hear there are lots of jobs at the border. And the local politicians will welcome you with open arms. Unlike the lefty Democrats that want to disband the police. There should be a massive exodus from all the big cities controlled by the Democrats. They are hostile to patriots, Conservatives, and Republicans.
