Interim Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz terminated two of the department's officers after a six-month investigation that concluded they were near the Capitol riots on January 6.

Diaz said in a statement on Friday the two officers crossed the outdoor barriers set by the Capitol Police and were near the Capitol building in an area that was restricted from the public.

"It is beyond absurd to suggest that they did not know they were in an area where they should not be, amidst what was already a violent, criminal riot," he wrote. "The participation of these two officers in that crowd is a stain on our department, and on the men and women who work every day to protect our community, serve those in need, and do so with compassion and dignity.   "

Diaz's decision comes after a months-long investigation led by the Office of Police Accountability (OPA), a civilian group that operates within the department.

1. He used the word absurd. How true. It's preposterous that any person trespassing on 1/6,

especially police who have even more knowledge of the law, could claim innocence. Yes call it a violent criminal riot, but also call it what tfg wanted - A COUP!
