西雅图——西雅图警察局长阿德里安·迪亚兹周五解雇了两名警察，当局称他们在参加1月6日叛乱期间在华盛顿特区举行的活动时违反了法律。
迪亚兹在一份声明中说，已婚军官凯特琳和亚历山大·埃弗雷特被解雇是因为“他们越过了国会大厦警察设置的户外屏障，就在国会大厦的正旁边”。
他说:“在一场已经是暴力犯罪的暴乱中，暗示他们不知道他们在一个不应该在的地区，这是非常荒谬的。
迪亚兹还称这些军官当天出现在国会大厦是“对我们职业和全国每一名军官的攻击。”
代表警察的西雅图警察工会主席迈克·索兰没有立即回复电话，寻求对解雇他们的决定发表评论。
在西雅图警察问责局发布的一份报告中，这些警察表示，他们呆在距离国会大厦30至50码(27至45米)的草地上，从未看到任何骚乱的迹象。
目前还不知道这些官员是否因其行为受到联邦当局的刑事调查。
埃弗里特夫妇是美国首都西雅图的六名总统候选人之一唐纳德·特朗普“停止偷窃”集会。
凯特琳·埃弗雷特在网上发布了一张照片后，这对夫妇的旅行公开了脸谱网她和亚历山大·埃弗雷特的照片。其他四名警察后来承认他们也在那里，但表示他们没有参与暴乱。
星期五标志着埃弗雷特一家第一次被命名。警察局还没有公布其他四名警官的姓名。
华盛顿最高法院周四宣布，将审理这些官员对那些提交公共记录请求以寻求披露其身份的人提起的诉讼。
西雅图警察问责局上个月的调查发现，当暴徒冲进国会大厦时，埃弗雷特一家非法闯入美国国会大厦，违反了法律。警方纪律报告称，他们还对自己的活动撒了谎。
警方问责报告称，尽管埃弗里特夫妇声称他们没有看到骚乱，但联邦调查局的照片显示，他们在下午2点30分左右“紧挨着”国会大厦——大约在示威被宣布为骚乱30分钟后。
报道称，这些官员告诉调查人员，他们不知道事件已经演变成暴力事件。
但是“在附近，在你的视线范围内，许多人爬上通往首都台阶的石墙，爬上脚手架，人群包围了这座建筑，”报告补充道。
迪亚兹说，埃弗雷特一家在那里的存在是不可接受的:“100多名警察遭受了严重的伤害——有些人的职业生涯结束了——通过直接攻击，”
他补充说:“数百名来自所有机构的被要求作出回应的人，承受着那天身体和精神上的创伤。这两名警官在人群中的参与是我们部门的一个污点，也是每天努力保护我们社区、为有需要的人服务并以同情和尊严这样做的男男女女的一个污点。”
两位警官都是在与德克萨斯州的警察部门合作后来到西雅图的。
根据通过公共记录请求发布的警方报告，这两名警官在结婚前曾在达拉斯警察局一起担任巡警。
亚历山大·埃弗雷特(Alexander Everett)于2008年毕业于北德克萨斯大学，获得刑事司法学士学位，并在达拉斯工作了四年，然后在德克萨斯州的圆石市担任军官。
记录显示，凯特琳·埃弗雷特在达拉斯警察局工作了四年，娘家姓凯特琳·罗谢尔。
目前还不知道埃弗雷特夫妇是否有律师。代表他们的律师和公共记录案中的其他四名西雅图官员在上个月问责局调查结束后退出了该案。
2 Seattle cops who were at US Capitol in January are fired
SEATTLE -- Seattle Police Chief Adrian Diaz on Friday fired two police officers who authorities have said violated the law while attending events in Washington D.C. during the Jan. 6 insurrection.
Married officers Caitlin and Alexander Everett were fired because “they crossed the outdoor barriers established by the Capitol Police and were directly next to the Capitol Building,” Diaz said in a statement.
“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 said.
Diaz also called the officers' presence at the Capitol that day as "an attack on our profession and on every officer across the country.”
Mike Solan, president of the Seattle Police union that represents officers, did not immediately return a telephone message seeking comment about the decision to fire them.
The officers, in a report released by Seattle's Office of Police Accountability, said they stayed on grass 30 to 50 yards (27 to 45 meters) away from the capitol building and never saw any signs of a disturbance.
It’s not known if the officers are under criminal investigation by federal authorities for their actions.
The Everetts were among six Seattle officers in the nation’s capital for PresidentDonald Trump’s “Stop the Steal” rally.
The couple's trip became public after Caitlin Everett posted a photo onFacebookof her and Alexander Everett at the demonstration. Four other officers later admitted they were also there but said they were not involved in the riot.
Friday marked the first time that the Everetts have been named. The police department has not named the other four officers.
The Washington Supreme Court announced Thursday that it would hear a lawsuit filed by the officers against people who filed public records requests seeking to disclose their identities.
Last month's investigation by Seattle's Office of Police Accountability found that the Everetts violated the law by trespassing at the U.S. Capitol while rioters stormed the building. The police discipline report stated that they also lied about their activities.
Despite the Everetts' claim that they didn't see a disturbance, FBI photographs showed them “directly next to” the Capitol building at about 2:30 p.m. — about 30 minutes after the demonstration had been declared a riot, the police accountability report said.
The officers told investigators that they had no idea that the event had turned violent, the report said.
But “nearby, and within your line of vision, numerous people were scaling a stone wall to the Capital steps, climbing the scaffolding, and crowds were surrounding the building,” the report added.
Diaz said the Everetts' presence there was unacceptable: “More than a hundred officers sustained serious injuries – some career-ending – through outright assault,”
He added: “Hundreds more, across all agencies called to respond, bear the physical and emotional scars of that day. 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.”
Both officers came to Seattle after working with police departments in Texas.
The officers worked together at the Dallas Police Department as patrol officers before they were married, according to police reports released through a public records request.
Alexander Everett graduated from the University of North Texas with a Bachelor's Degree in criminal justice in 2008 and worked in Dallas for four years before taking a job as an officer in Round Rock, Texas.
Caitlin Everett worked for the Dallas police for four years under her maiden name Caitlin Rochelle, the records said.
It was not immediately know if the Everetts have a lawyer. The attorneys representing them and the four other Seattle officers in the public records case withdrew from the case after the accountability office investigation was completed last month.
