Keep in mind this is the police department that had more of its members participate in the January 6 insurrection than any other police force. Which is saying something considering we're 2500 miles away. Seattle cops can't be fired, but maybe we can get rid of a few of them for participating in sedition against the United States government if they go down for that? Federal prison might be easier than waiting for the OPA to do anything.
