New York City reached a settlement with the family of Eric Garner on Monday, agreeing to pay $5.9 million to resolve a wrongful death claim over his killing by the police on Staten Island last July, a lawyer for the family said.
The agreement, reached just a few days before the deadline to file suit, headed off one potentially fractious legal battle over Mr. Garner’s death even as a federal inquiry into the killing and several others at the state and local level remain open and could provide a further accounting of how he died.
Still, the settlement was a pivotal moment in a case that has engulfed the city and the Police Department since the afternoon of July 17, 2014, when two officers approached Mr. Garner as he stood unarmed on a sidewalk and accused him of selling untaxed cigarettes.
The death of Mr. Garner, 43, followed by the fatal shooting of Michael Brown by a police officer in Ferguson, Mo., in August, set off a national debate about policing actions in minority communities and racial discrimination in the criminal justice system.
You mean to say the life of eric garner was worth $6 million ?? A guy whose "career" was selling individual cigarettes??!! If he was white, the family wouldn't have gotten a thing.

In any event, NYC is getting off cheap because they'll never pay out that amount and the family won't get that amount.
This will encourage more blacks to fight with the police
It is not about the victim, it is about the lawyers who will get 2 million out of the deal.
so they can spend the settlement $$$ in the afterlife you racist POS?This will encourage more blacks to fight with the police
Another case of black privilege from white-hater de blasio. The working white people of NYC will pay this.
He didn't "fight the police". He was standing on the street, having broken up a fight, doing not much of anything when the cops attacked him.
Maybe this will discourage cops from attacking blacks.

Is there no limit to your hatred of white people, you miserable wretch?
