The trial for three Tacoma, Washington, officers charged in a Black man’s death begins this week.
A third officer, Timothy Rankine, arrived after Ellis was already handcuffed, face-down, and knelt on his upper back as Ellis pleaded for breath.
Video, including cellphone footage taken by the witnesses and surveillance video from a doorbell camera nearby, variously showed Ellis raising his hands in an apparent gesture of surrender and addressing the officers as “sir” while telling them he can’t breathe. One officer is heard responding, “Shut the up, man.”
Collins and Burbank are each charged with second-degree murder. Rankine, who is Asian American, is charged with manslaughter.
