Portland Prosecutor looking for reasons not to Prosecute

The adversarial system of law only works if the sides are adversarial. That, and what is the point of laws you don't intend to prosecute?

Portland Prosecutor Likely to Drop Charges Against Rioters Who Injure Cops, Citing 'Instinctive Reaction' to Police

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced that his default position is not to prosecute and that most crimes by rioters will be forgiven and forgotten.

That list of crimes includes interfering with a police officer, disorderly conduct, and rioting.

-interfering with a police officer
-disorderly conduct
-criminal trespass
-harassment
-escape in the 3rd degree
-riot (somtimes in some circumstances)

[We’ll take] a particularly hard look at resisting arrest and assault of a public safety officer if those cases occurred when an individual was being tear gassed or otherwise exposed to a use of force at the time of the resistance.
His staff plans to determine the intent with which the rioter used violence to determine whether he or she is worthy of prosecution or “restorative justice.”

He told the local taxpayer-funded radio station that “the presumption on a lot of these cases that are listed out there is that we won’t prosecute… But if there are egregious circumstances or something about the case that stands out, we can always choose to prosecute.”


Schmidt told reporters at a news conference today that being caught up by police while simply protesting will not be prosecuted.

… f you are a person who is out there demonstrating and you get caught up in the melee and you get arrested … those are the kind of cases we’re talking.

Violating curfew during civil unrest will no longer be prosecuted.

The rioters will see this as a sign of weakness and will continue knowing the prosecutor is on their side.

Well, then if shop owners shoot looters and arsonists, the same reason could be used...it was restorative justice.

That's the problem when you try to make up an excuse for erasing a crime....it can be retroactive.

Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt has announced a new policy that will limit the types of charges pressed against protesters in Portland.


Schmidt announced at a Tuesday press conference that he is only pressing charges against protesters arrested for assault, theft, or property damage. That means he'll be dropping lesser charges that the Portland Police Bureau (PPB) often arrests protesters for, such as rioting, disorderly conduct, and "interfering with a peace officer"—a catch-all term for not following orders or bothering a cop. The policy will apply to all protest charges dating back to May 29, when the protests began.

You are a brave man to reference the John Birch Society when is a longstanding demon for the left

And I agree that liberals want to undermine the sovergnity of America at all levels

and eventually lead to international control over America

but thats easier said than done

I predict that the Defund The Police movement will implode and fizzle as more rational minds push back

 

[Jackson]

So why bother instilling a curfew, naming trespassing as a law along with interfering with a police officer. If I was an attorney in the Multnomah County, I would be looking at the prisoners that were found guilty of these crimes and serving time. Make that bitch eat his words! Time to sue the prosecutor.

And this is better how? A lot of these people interfered with cops arresting people for doing the other things. They get a pass?

If you now know disobeying a cop is nonpunishable, why obey a cop?
