Multnomah County District Attorney Mike Schmidt released the following statement today:

“The destruction occurring at demonstrations tonight is unacceptable and will not be tolerated. Damaging property, making threats, and perpetrating violence are not acceptable, meaningful, or productive ways to make a point. These are destructive behaviors that harm community members and local businesses. 

“My office stands ready to prosecute cases related to these activities after reviewing evidence gathered and provided to us by law enforcement.”
