FILE - In this July 25, 2020, file photo, smoke rises as police clash with protester during a Black Lives Matter protest near the Seattle Police East Precinct headquarters in Seattle. A Seattle police officer who threw a tear gas canister that hit a reporter and other officers who threw blast balls that hit individuals during last summer s Black Lives Matter protests violated policies, according to new reports from an independent agency tasked with investigating police misconduct. The agency has released five batches of investigative reports since September, with the latest 22 cases posted Friday, Jan. 15, 2021.
The Office of Police Accountability is investigating whether those officers breached the Capitol.
Mike Solan, the president of the Seattle Police Officers Guild, blamed Back Lives Matter and the far left for the riot.
Days after an unprecedented domestic assault on democracy unfolded at the US Capitol, a tender wound reopened in Seattle, Washington.
As hundreds of rioters who breached the Capitol have started to be identified, with many facing federal charges, the Associated Press reported that over 30 police officers are under investigation for their presence at then-President Donald Trump s Stop the Steal rally in DC on January 6.
Six Seattle Police Officers are under investigation after being in DC on the day of the Capitol riots making it the largest identified group of officers from any police department in the nation to be present in DC on January 6.
