Quote:Nearly a year to the day after Staten Island police killed an unarmed father of six who was allegedly selling untaxed cigarettes, the City of New York said it had reached a settlement in the case.
The city on Monday agreed to pay the family of Eric Garner $5.9 million, said Scott Stringer, the city's comptroller.
...
A medical examiner ruled Garner's death a homicide, but a Staten Island grand jury last December declined to indict Pantaleo.
...
Stringer, who has has made a point of resolving civil rights cases quickly to reduce legal fees, said the settlement "is in the best interests of all parties." While he noted that the city hasn't admitted liability in the case, he said the settlement "acknowledges the tragic nature of Mr. Garner's death."
