In Portland, a Prosecutor Must Decide: Which Protesters Should Go to Jail? – The New York Times

Mr. Schmidt said his office would presumptively decline to prosecute demonstrators for minor offenses such as interfering with the police, disorderly conduct and trespassing cases that did not involve deliberate violence, property damage or theft. And charges for assault on officers and resisting arrest will now require closer scrutiny, with prosecutors taking into account in filing charges whether the police fired tear gas into crowds.

The purpose, Mr. Schmidt said, is to balance people s righteous anger and grief and fury over a system that has not really been responsive enough for decades and centuries with the need to prevent property damage and violence.
