Portlanders arrested at recent Black Lives Matter protests are facing a variety of charges.

Attorney Viktoria Safarian has represented people arrested at Patriot Prayer and Proud Boys rallies in the past two years, as well as Black Lives Matter protesters in the last few weeks. Safarian fills us in on the legal side of protesting.
