In a video shown to the media, Manuel Ellis, a 33 year old black man who died while in the custody of the Tacoma Police department in March, can be heard screaming \"I can't breathe sir. I can't breathe.\" The family is requesting an independent investigation be undertaken in light of this new evidence citing the Pierce County Sheriff's Office has too many conflicting interests to independently investigate this homicide. The Rideouts attended because their niece and daughter, Jacqueline Salyers, was killed by a Tacoma policeman in 2016. Protests demanding police reforms sparked by the death of George Floyd, who died in police custody two weeks ago, have spread worldwide.
