The city of New York has paid $5.9 million to settle a wrongful death lawsuit filed by the family of Eric Garner, the unarmed black man who was choked to death by New York police on Staten Island and whose dying words, "I can't breathe," became an iconic symbol of police brutality. But no cops have been charged and the city hasn't formally accepted responsibility. Isn't it absurd to pay for a death for which you refuse to acknowledge responsibility?
