California to pay $24 million for man dying in Altadena during CHP stop: Lawyers say the payout is the largest civil rights settlement in California’s history.
pasadenastarnews.com/2023/05/09/california-to-pay-24-million-for-man-dying-in-altadena-during-chp-stop
Quick Glance: California to Pay $24M Settlement for Man's Death in Police Custody
- 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' as multiple officers restrained him while trying to take a blood sample.
- Bronstein’s death also 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.
- He died at a highway patrol station in Altadena, north of downtown Los Angeles, less than two months before Floyd was killed by police in Minnesota as he, too, repeatedly told officers, 'I can’t breathe'.
- The CHP changed its policies to prevent officers 'from using techniques or transport methods that involve a substantial risk of positional asphyxia,' and ordered additional training for uniformed officers.
