Hey Portland - you might get what you deserve.

When a Muslim family got run over, health officials broke their own rules once again for massive rallies. When Christians organize a protest though? Charged. Try to stay consistent here. The Christians and the anti-government rally organizers were clearly treated very differently.

The police have given more latitude to actual political protest than other actions.  Those "rallies" against masks in my city?  They were not charged.  Nearby golf course that tried to open early?  Charged.

Each side tries to depict itself as the victim, and there are always anecdotes that attempt to "prove" their point -- there is power in it.
