SEATTLE — Two of the six Seattle police officers who attended the Jan. 6 "Stop the Steal" rally in Washington, D.C., violated both law and department policy and should be fired, according to the Seattle Police Office of Accountability. According to the Department of Justice, at least 500 people have been arrested in the wake of the Capitol riot.
The Seattle police watchdog released its findings Thursday after more than six months of investigative work, which included interviewing the officers, visiting the Capitol, analyzing cell phone records and speaking with the FBI and Capitol Police.
