The police was called to her address on Ansel Rd. on Cleveland's east side over a dispute at her home. Tanisha suffered from mental and physical health issues, and on this day she just wasn't in her right state of mind. Not at all violent, just not at all her normal self.

When the police arrived, the family asked if they could take Tanisha to the Hospital for a mental health evaluation, but as they attempted to put Tanisha in the police car, she did not want to go. She begged and pleaded not to be taken to the hospital where she had been before and avoided getting into the car. She was then restrained by a male police officer using excessive force, tackled down to the ground using the "Take Down" move, then put into hand cuffs .The police officer then called over a second officer who assisted in pinning Tanisha face down on the ground with his knee pressed down heavily into her back for 6 to 7 minutes, until her body went completely limp. When witnesses asked was she OK after noticing she stopped moving, the officers replied by saying she was fine, SHES JUST SLEEPING; ATTEMPTING TO COVER UP THE FACT THAT HE JUST COMMITTED MURDER. The officer allowed my sister to lie faced down on the blistering cold ground, handcuffed, for over 20 minutes until the ambulance finally arrive. They never attempted to resuscitate her at any point before EMT arrived. Instead they continued to cover up the fact that she was dead by saying she was sleeping while she lie there Life-Less!!

Currently, an investigation is under way, and the family is seeking justice for our beloved Tanisha.
