Portland DA announces most of the rioters cops arrested will not be prosecuted

Looks like there's a two-tiered justice system in Portland, one for conservatives and one for liberals.

Mike Schmidt, who serves as the district attorney for Multnomah County, announced his office will not prosecute the rioters who have been arrested and charged with certain crimes during the months-long unrest the city of Portland has experienced.
There are currently more than 550 pending misdemeanor and felony charges that have been brought up since the protests and riots have started in late May after the death of George Floyd. Schmidt's approach to the charges will result in a "significant portion" of the 550 cases being dropped, according to opb.org.
"In a democracy where speech is so important, being the system that’s being criticized and then using that system to shut down speech,” Schmidt said, “I think we have to hold ourselves to an even higher level of tolerance for that speech to take place."
"The presumption on a lot of these cases that are listed out there is that we won’t prosecute,” he added. "But if there are egregious circumstances or something about the case that stands out, we can always choose to prosecute."
Charges that will be looked at to be dropped include:
Interfering with a police officer
Disorderly conduct
Criminal trespass
Harassment
Escape in the 3rd degree
Riot, in some cases

If you're still a cop in Portland, you're either a huge pussy or on the side of these rioters.

The Democrats are the party of CHAOS. This is the world they crave. From border law to late term abortion to sanctuary cities to phony coups to not enforcing criminal statutes. Democrats are THE NATIONAL SUICIDE PARTY.

So vandalism, arson, destruction of federal property and assault/battery are now covered under the First Amendment? Good to know.

There are 2 other possibilities and they are they're saving enough money to move or waiting on a job offer from another LE shop.

GOD DAMN IT!!!! THIS IS frickING WRONG.
We are either a nation of laws or a nation of men. This is absurd.
This must be broadcast loud and long by FOX and any other news source. This will be America under a Democrat administration.

It's the klan days all over again. Klan would beat people, and local Democrats in office would protect them.
Now.. libs can beat and rape people, they can loot and destroy shite.. and local libs in office will protect them.
It's 2020 and this kind of corrupt shite is still going on.

Sounds like time to infiltrate and bring the protestors to Mike Schmidt's neighborhood.

Libs will soon tout how crime is dropping in Portland. The stats prove it!

Or on the short rows of retirement and just hanging on for dear life.

It appears to be a good place to even the score on and enemy. Entice him to a riot then get your revenge.
