A Washington state police officer acquitted in the 2020 death of Manuel Ellis — a Black man who was shocked, beaten and restrained as he pleaded for breath — has filed multimillion-dollar claims against state and local officials alleging defamation
One of the Washington state police officers cleared of criminal charges in the 2020 death of Manuel Ellis — a Black man who was shocked, beaten and held facedown on a sidewalk as he pleaded for breath — has filed multimillion-dollar claims against local and state officials alleging defamation.
Rankine had been charged with manslaughter, while Collins and Burbank had been charged with manslaughter and second-degree murder. Earlier this spring, a neighboring county hired Burbank as a patrol deputy but he resigned days later with the sheriff there saying he failed to anticipate the community’s strong objections. Attorneys for the three had argued that Ellis died from a lethal amount of methamphetamine as well as a heart condition, not from the officers’ actions.
