The three police officers were found not guilty last month in the death of
Manuel Ellis, who died in custody in 2020 after pleading that he could not
breathe.
Three Tacoma police officers who were acquitted in the death of Manuel
Ellis, a Black man who died in police custody in 2020 after pleading that
he could not breathe, will each receive $500,000 for resigning from the
Tacoma Police Department, according to documents released by the city on
Tuesday.
Two of the officers, Christopher Burbank, 38 and Matthew Collins, 40, both
white, were acquitted last month on charges of second-degree murder. The
third officer, Timothy Rankine, 35, who is Asian, was acquitted of first-
degree manslaughter. Prosecutors had accused the men of punching,
squeezing and placing a hood over Mr. Ellis, 33, known as Manny, who was
unarmed on the night of his arrest and, according to audio recordings,
told the police that he could not breathe.
On Tuesday, Chief Avery L. Moore of the Tacoma Police Department said in a
statement that the three officers had “voluntarily agreed” to resign from
their positions. Though Mr. Collins violated the department’s 2020 policy
on courtesy, all three men had otherwise been cleared of departmental
violations based on policies at the time, Chief Moore said.
A spokeswoman for the city said Tuesday that the men had already resigned.
The “Use of Force” policy in place at the time of Mr. Ellis’s arrest
“failed to serve the best interests of the police department or the
community,” Chief Moore added, and has since been revised as part of an
overhaul of more than two dozen police policies. “I acknowledge the
detrimental impact of policing on Black, Indigenous, and People of Color
(BIPOC) communities, extending both a personal and collective apology,” he
said.
The officers resigned in “good standing,” according to copies of the
officers’ resignation agreements that were posted online, which note that
in addition to the $500,000 payments, the three will receive any other
standard payouts and benefits as required by law. “These agreements
support a responsible, constructive path forward for our community and the
Tacoma Police Department,” Elizabeth Pauli, the city manager, said in a
statement on Tuesday.
