The three officers who were acquitted of charges related to Manuel Ellis' death have opted to voluntarily resign from the Tacoma Police Department, according to a statement from Tacoma City Manager Elizabeth Pauli. All three, Christopher Burbank, Matthew Collins and Timothy Rankine, entered into voluntary resignation agreements with the city, Pauli said. The city of Tacoma will pay each officer $500,000 and the agreements state that each officer "separates in good standing." Tacoma Police Chief Avery Moore said the officers were cleared based on 2020 policies, aside from officer Collins' violation for use of profanity. Moore released a statement saying an internal affairs investigation, which cleared all three officers of wrong-doing related to Ellis' death, guided his decision making.
