Portland's new DA drops charges against HUNDREDS arrested over 76 nights of riots and won't prosecute future 'non-deliberate' acts including criminal trespass, harassment and disorderly conduct
Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt announced a policy change on Tuesday saying they won't prosecute non-violent misdemeanor charges
It includes interfering with police, disorderly conduct, criminal trespass, escape or harassment
Allegations will be dropped if they don’t involve 'deliberate' property damage, theft or force against another person or threats of force
It doesn't affect federal charges, of which there are dozens, including arson
The DA acknowledged those caught in situations where they have been tear gassed while exercising their First Amendment right
About 550 charges have been referred to the DA since May 29 and they include 140 felonies, 45 of which are currently being pursued by authorities
