BREAKING: The 3 Tacoma police officers acquitted in the death of #MannyEllis have agreed to voluntarily leave the department. Internal investigation found no wrongdoing by the officers under 2020 use of force policy, but Chief Avery Moore says policy has since been updated.

This has been a really ugly day for local journalists and it’s been extremely disappointing to witness, especially from colleagues I really like and look up to. I believe we can disagree and still show professional respect. We can do better than this.

Please do not call my office phone or leave me a voicemail. I discovered today I do not know the password and therefore whatever you say will be an eternal mystery. Thank you for your time.

UPDATE: Shooting scene appears to be this apartment about 30 yards from the #Ballard high school’s north side. Have NOT confirmed anything from @SeattlePD but did see one person get put into a squad car. Waiting on official update. @KIRONewsradio

NEW: Federal judge strikes down Seattle anti-graffiti law saying it is "vague" and "over-broad". In the span of the week, city attorney's office cannot take action on either drug possession or graffiti. Yikes.
