TL;DR Summary

California will pay a $24 million civil rights settlement to the family of Edward Bronstein, a man who died in police custody after being restrained by multiple officers while trying to take a blood sample. Seven California Highway Patrol officers and a nurse were charged with involuntary manslaughter earlier this year. Bronstein's death echoes that of Eric Garner, 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.
