More than half of the people charged by federal prosecutors for allegedly committing crimes during the rioting in Portland, Oregon, during the summer of 2020 have seen their charges dropped, according to court records analyzed by The Epoch Times.
Of the 90 people who prosecutors said were charged between July and October of last year, 48 saw their charges dismissed at the request of the U.S. attorney’s office in Oregon. Prosecutors decided against pursuing charges that included assault of a federal officer, destruction of government property, and failure to obey a lawful order.
