‘Can’t breathe’: Tacoma police restraint of Manuel Ellis caused his death, medical examiner reports


Another valuable Saintly dindu with a rap sheet as long as your left arm, multiple drugs in his system and serious health issues is cruelly taken from this world by the evil, raycisss po-po!
TACOMA — Manuel Ellis died in handcuffs while being restrained on the ground by Tacoma police.

Although Ellis, an openly struggling addict, had drugs in his system when he died, the Pierce County Medical Examiner’s Office has determined the 33-year-old died March 3 of respiratory arrest due to hypoxia due to physical restraint.

Hypoxia is a deficiency in the amount of oxygen reaching body tissues.

Contributing factors included methamphetamine intoxication and dilated cardiomyopathy, commonly known as an enlarged heart.
There are similarities in the deaths of Ellis and Floyd, who died in Minneapolis a week ago after a white police officer pressed his knee into Floyd’s neck for nearly nine minutes.

Both were black men handcuffed in the street after police encounters. Both died after lapsing into unconsciousness. Both died due to a lack of oxygen while being restrained.

This. huh?
On the night Ellis died, he played drums at a church revival.
After a night of alleged inspirational Evangelical events, he then started a fight with the po-po.

When two officers in the area asked him what he was doing, Ellis allegedly told them he had warrants and wanted to talk to them.

Then he repeatedly struck their patrol car.

The two officers inside notified dispatch they needed priority backup then got out of the car.

“He picked up the officer by his vest and slam-dunked him on the ground,” Ed Troyer, spokesman of the Pierce County Sheriff’s Department, which is investigating the incident, told The News Tribune on Tuesday. “He never tried to run, he engaged with the officers and started a fight.”

There was a struggle before police got Ellis handcuffed on the ground.
Cue the nigger lottery and GoFundMe gibs now.
