Portland police officer indicted for excessive use of force related to racial justice protests.

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt is doing something few of his predecessors ever have. This week, he indicted a Portland police officer. Officer Corey Budworth is facing a misdemeanor assault charge for actions at a racial justice protest last year. It's the second time an officer has been charged for use of force during last summer's racial justice protests
