Craig Sailor: Relatives, community leaders call for justice for man who died in Tacoma police custody
News Tribune, Tacoma, Wash. 2/26/2021 Craig Sailor, The News Tribune (Tacoma, Wash.)
Feb. 26 March 3 marks one year since Tacoma resident Manual Ellis died while in the custody of Tacoma police officers, and his family and supporters are not letting it pass without a public march and call for justice.

Manuel Ellis died in the hands of Tacoma police officers and foretold his imminent death with the same words spoken by George Floyd and before him, Eric Garner, and so many other nameless persons that we don t know who said, I can t breathe, said the Rev. Leslie Braxton, pastor of New Beginnings Christian Fellowship.

New details regarding Ellis’ death revealed two additional law enforcement officers were involved in restraining him. One an off-duty sheriff’s department sergeant assisted in pushing Ellis’ leg in to hogtie him while handcuffed and lying flat on the ground. The other was a Tacoma police officer who placed a spit guard over Ellis’ head. The four officers who had been previously identified have been on leave since early June
