Mike Solan, the president of Seattle’s rank and file police union, said Monday night that he will not step down, despite a growing chorus calling for his resignation after he blamed, in part, the “far left” and Black Lives Matter activists for the pro-Trump siege on the U.S. Capitol.

Solan has been under fire since last week when, following the mob attack on the Capitol, he tweeted, “Far right and far left are responsible for that sad day.”

He also approvingly retweeted a right-wing blogger who said “an extreme BLM activist” was among those in the pro-Trump mob.

“As the [mainstream media] point to one group as being the culprits, clearly evidence also shows another group w/ a history of riotous criminal actions,” Solan added.

Solan also wrote in defense of the two Seattle police officers who were in Washington, D.C., during the mob attack on the Capitol. They have been placed on administrative leave, and the Office of Police Accountability is investigating if they participated in the riot.

Solan wrote that they were “attending President Trump’s rally in Washington D.C.” and that the union is offering them resources.

“As you can imagine, we are concerned for their safety, mental health and for what appears to be their guilt by association for merely exercising their constitutionally protected first amendment rights,” he wrote. “We are in a scary time in our nation’s history as voicing a dissenting opinion can get you ‘canceled.'”
