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.
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.
