Assault charges have been dismissed against an Oregon police officer who admitted to hitting a photographer in the head with his baton during a demonstration in the wake of George Floyd’s death in the summer of 2020, court records show.
A Portland police officer Corey Budworth accused of hitting of a photographer during a Black Lives Matter protest released a public video apology to the woman, according to KGW8 News. The video comes conveniently after prosecutors dropped his criminal charges in connection to the incident.
