The Washington Supreme Court has ruled Seattle police officers who attended the Jan. 6, 2021, rally and protests at the U.S. Capitol should be identified in court papers and have not shown that the release of their names through public disclosure will violate their right to privacy.

The officers who attended the rally had sued to prevent the release of their names and documents relating to an investigation into their activities that day.
