Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt’s office has rejected hundreds of charges referred by police officers who made arrests during the ongoing mayhem in Portland.

Schmidt, a self-described progressive who was elected this year, announced the numbers as he unveiled a new dashboard that will track the number of what he calls protest-related cases that are referred to his office and pursued or rejected.
