Two Seattle police officers suspended for participating in the Capitol robbery chronicle

Two police officers from the US city of Seattle have been suspended for their participation in the assault on Capitol Hill, led this week by supporters of incumbent President Donald Trump, in an attempt to thwart the certification of the presidential triumph of his Democratic rival.

The suspension of the agents was announced last night in a statement released by local police after learning that troops were present during the brief takeover of the US Congress thanks to a photo posted on social media.

According to the memo, an investigation has been opened to clarify the officers’ involvement in the incidents and to verify whether they have committed illegal acts.

“The Department fully supports all legal expressions of free speech in the First Amendment, but the violent mob and the events that took place in the United States Capitol are illegal and resulted in the death of a police officer. “ denounced last night the chief of the police department of Seattle, Adrián Díaz, quoted by the newspaper The Seattle Times.

“If there are any Department agents directly involved in the US Capitol uprising, I will kill them immediately,” condemned.

Thousands of Trump supporters violently stormed the Capitol last Wednesday during the process of certifying the results of the US presidential election, in which the Republican mogul, who denounces “fraud”, was defeated by the Democrat Joe Biden.
