The two Cleveland police officers who took Tanisha Anderson into custody before her death were exonerated by a grand jury Friday.
Anderson, 37, died in November 2014 after struggling with officers Scott Aldridge and Bryan Myers as they tried to put her in a squad car. They had been called to her house after her family called 911 in concern for her mental health.
