Seattle Police Officers Caught in January 6 Scandal: Who Knew?

In a twist that’s spicy enough to make even the most seasoned coffee drinkers sit up and take notice, four more officers from the Seattle Police Department have been implicated in the January 6, 2021 Capitol rally. The recently disclosed names followed a lengthy legal battle to keep them hidden—and honestly, what do these officers think they were doing? Hiding in plain sight won’t take you far when your actions come back to bite you.

The newly identified officers—Sergeants Jacob Briskey and Scotty Bach, Detective Michael Settle, and Officer Jason Marchione—join the ranks of Alexander and Caitlin Everett, who were already dismissed from their positions due to their involvement. It’s like a bad reality show that you can’t turn away from, especially considering that three of these four fresh names had previous complaints regarding misconduct. One has to wonder if some of these officers should really consider a career change—maybe something less public-facing, like gardening?

As the Seattle Police Department navigates through this mess, it raises questions about accountability and transparency in our police forces. With these revelations coming to light, are we witnessing a shift towards more honest policing, or is it just a flash in the pan? Wouldn’t it be fun to hear what these officers have to say, though I’m sure their defense won’t include “we were just following the crowd!”

It’s a gripping saga for sure, filled with intrigue and more unexpected turns than a reality TV plot. Do you think there should be stricter penalties for police officers who break the law while off duty?
