90 Percent of Portland Protesters Have Charges Dropped

Charges against 90% of the protesters arrested during anti-police riots in September were dropped, according to Breitbart.

Those charges include attempted murder, arson and assault. Meanwhile, only 19 of the 213 arrested that month are pending.

Joseph Sipe is wanted for throwing Molotov cocktails at police officers. On September 23, he was arrested on charges of attempted murder, attempted assault, arson, possession of a destructive device and rioting. He was released after posting bond. Then, all of his charges were later dismissed.

Portland prosecutors also dismissed over 70% of arrests since May, according to the Multnomah County District Attorney’s Office. The figure is worsened by reports from The Oregonian that more cases have been dismissed than those shown on the tracker.
