What is most disturbing about if charges should be filed is the blatant political nature of the decision. The charging decision by Mark Schmidt, does not mean the crimes listed in the screenshot will not be prosecuted, nor does it mean that those crimes won't be prosecuted in any protest. Rather, he has decided to exempt prosecuting those that commit the aforementioned crimes ONLY during the police brutality protests.
Imagine, a reopen protester trespassing in an assemblyman's office. Now, we have a BLM / police reform protester. Both refuse to leave and both are arrested but only one faces the possibility of charges. The other person is released without the possibility of jail or most likely a fine.
In essence, justice is no longer blind. It has now lifted the blindfold and has her sword on the scales of justice to favor the fashionable political beliefs at the time. I am not saying that this did not already exist, but to go from a de facto to a de jure system of politically motivated prosecution is extremely concerning.
