Lawyers say California will pay a $24 million civil rights settlement to the family of a man who died in police custody after screaming “I can’t breathe.”
, a New Yorker put in a chokehold by police in 2014 and whose dying words"I can't breathe" became a chant in protests against racial injustice. Both Garner and Neely were Black.
When announcing the criminal charges in March, LA County District Attorney George Gascón said the highway patrol officers failed Bronstein,"and their failure was criminally negligent, causing his death.”showing the officers' treatment of Bronstein was released last year following a judge's order in the family's federal lawsuit alleging excessive force and a violation of civil rights.
He continues screaming as six officers hold him face-down — the lawsuit alleged they put their knees on his back — and pleads for help.“I can’t breathe!” and “I can’t!” Bronstein cries, and an officer responds, “Just relax and stop resisting!”
