California to pay $24 million settlement in death of Edward Bronstein, who was taken into custody during a DUI traffic stop.
His family is expected to speak Wednesday morning at a news conference with attorneys who announced the settlement. They called it the largest civil rights settlement of its kind by the state of California and the second-largest nationally since Minneapolis paid $27 million in the death of George Floyd.
The 18-minute video showed Bronstein handcuffed and facedown on a mat at a highway patrol station north of downtown Los Angeles. Eventually, he can be heard saying,"I'll do it willingly. I'll do it willingly. I promise." The coroner's office concluded that Bronstein died of"acute methamphetamine intoxication during restraint by law enforcement,'' according to the CHP.
