Nice coverage of the concern and anger of this mistake by Sheriff Sanders. Manuel Ellis was killed by the Standard Practices of Restraint used by Tacoma Police officers. Since they used the officially sanctioned standards the individual officers were found not guilty by the jury. Did they need to use standards because they escalated their confrontation with Ellis? That was not the question at trial. Why did they leave Tacoma Police? TCSO should have reviewed the case and reviewed the officers practice of escalating situations with citizens. Not a good look for any law enforcement agency.
