Using “John Doe” pseudonyms, they sued over whether the investigation into their activities should be made public. The Washington State Supreme Court ruled in February that they can be identified and that they haven’t shown that public release of their names violates their right to privacy. The state supreme court denied reconsideration earlier this month and lawyers for the four officers submitted a petition to the U.S. Supreme Court, asking that the names remain protected during their legal challenge.

Four officers who attended events in the nation’s capital on the day of an insurrection claimed they are protected under the state’s public records law. They say they did nothing wrong and that revealing their names would violate their privacy.

      Someone needs to leak those names. Seattle PD already should be stripped to the joists and rebuilt, this time with strong protections against the PD interfering in politics, and full accountability enforced by third parties unconnected to the department.

          Yes! 100%

          Get them in one of those unions instead that will ensure equal pay, good healthcare and trauma monitoring and better de-escalation training. Give them the confidence and protection to fix the internal shit they see so it’s no longer swept under the rug to rot.

            Not only better de-escalation training but also lets add some respect for rights, throw accountability in to help, and toss with a heavy reduction in fear based training and I think we have ourselves a police reform salad I would enjoy.

      yes, pardoning them does not reset the conclusion that what they did was criminal. Trump lacks the power to reclassify it-- he can only let them out of jail. So it was a crime. Cops have no expectation of privacy while committing crimes-- pardoned for those crimes or not.

    WAT? First, I thought this was a false flag from BLM and “antifa”. Then they were “political prisoners” and it was just a “day of love” and these assholes all got pardoned.

    Why the shame?

        No. They didn’t think they did anything wrong. It’s insane, but I’m serious. They are absolutely convinced they are the good guys.

        Which is why they believe they don’t deserve to have any consequences. But the evil left will “cancel” them if they’re doxxed, and that’s just not fair since they were doing the “good” things.

        They can never get their stories right about anything. First, it was a false flag orchestrated by the FBI working with BLM and “antifa” and no magats were there. Then, you had Marjorie Trailer Queen crying over a fake installation of them in prison and they were declaring they were “political prisoners” because it was just a “day of love”, etc…

          That’s the thing, they don’t have to get their stories “right” about anything. The blatant hypocrisy is a feature, not a bug. It’s a complete waste of time to focus on it.

        That certainly is the logic they use when they cruise around with Stingray devices in their cruisers that honeypot/MiTM every single 4g/5g/Wifi drevice in a 100m+ radius.

        No they’re not, the city has a large number of Republicans running things. People don’t realize how conservative even a liberal place can be. They’re just quietly fucking things up behind the scenes.

      They have been leaked. It happened pretty much instantly after people found out.

      Officer #1: Alexander Everett

      Officer #2: Caitlin Rochelle

      Officer #3: Jason Marchione

      Officer #4: Sgt. Scotty Bach

      Officer #5: Vice detective Michael Settle

      Officer #6: Jacob Briskey

      This is just some complex legal maneuvering for lawsuits from the traitor cops.

        I love it when the Streisand Effect hammers evil people. I didn’t know about these four traitors before, but I do now, and now I want them fired.

        If they can’t be fired, I want them to be surrounded by a giant, vicious crowd, as they beat the everloving shit out of these traitors for hours.

        Well of course it did.

        But I don’t understand how clearing the names can protect them from lawsuits - doesn’t being a cop pretty much protect them from consequences anyway?

          It doesnt protect them. They want to sue other people for releasing their names and for associated “pain and suffering.”

          This is a legal maneuver so the traitor cops can sue other people.

      I mean, there’s nothing inherently bad about wanting to keep your identity private. That should be a human right, if anything.

      That said, J6ers need to be named and shamed, especially those in positions of power and authority. The latter part should be the single exception for the “privacy is a right” idea.

        Except cops are allowed to act with their extended cop powers even when they are not on duty. So they are not just private citizens. If they want to keep those after work powers they should waive their right to privacy in all cases where they are out in public. They shouldnt get to pick and choose whatever is convenient for them-- they need to be fully accountable if they wield extra authority. Those particular J6ers have no right to privacy.

      Well the question is did they merely “attend the rally”, or did they “participate in the violent storming of the Capitol building”?

      Because honestly, there’s a big difference. Not everyone that attended the rally stormed the capitol. So it could be reasonable to not want your name made public just for being there.

      Then again they are cops so they probably did storm the Capitol.

      Then again, again, the mere fact that I assume that is probably why they don’t want their identities made public - especially if they were never charged for a crime.
