A Staten Island judge approved nearly $4 million in payments to the family of Eric Garner from a $5.9 million wrongful death settlement with the city, according to lawyers involved in the case. The judge is still weighing how much to award in attorneys fees, according to attorney Lorraine Coyle who represents Garner’s 3-year-old daughter, Legacy Jayleen Garner-Miller. Garner’s youngest child and his widow, Esaw Snipes, will received the largest shares, according to family attorney Jonathan Moore. Snipes will receive around $1.4 million while Garner-Miller will get close to $1.3 million, according to Moore. “I’m very happy that Legacy is going to be getting an increase in funds from what was originally proposed,” Coyle said, adding that the original amount was under $1 million. Garner’s other daughters– Erica and Emerald Snipes– will each be paid $163,600. Their older brother Eric will get $204,00 and their younger brother Emery, who is a minor, will receive $482,000. Finally Garner’s mom Gwen Carr, who is overseeing her late son’s estate, will get $82,0000. The money will be paid out over the next 90 days in the form of annuities or annual installments, Coyle told The Post.

You are fantasizing. There is no semblance of truth to that fairy tale you just made up.

Educate yourself.
disagree
he was a small time entrepreneur who ran afoul of leviathan’s rules on involuntary taxation.
“Who said he was executed? He died of natural causes.”
I thought this was the guy the cops strangled to death for selling cigarettes.
__________________________________________
You thought wrong.
The autopsy from the medical examiner attributed his death to homicide – meaning death at the hands of another party, not murder, in medical parlance – and stated that he died thanks to “Compression of neck (choke hold), compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police.” But the autopsy further noted that Garner died thanks to acute and chronic bronchial asthma, obesity, and heart disease.

Executed?
Who said he was executed?
...
All the Libertarians who hated cops before Obama made it official policy to hate cops.
_________________________________________________________
Correct. And these Libertarians here are no better than your typical BLM thug who also hate the police.
The guy wasn't executed. He was a useless middle-aged man with a lengthy criminal record who once had a decent job working for the city but quit for "health reasons." When the police arrived to arrest him he told them that he wasn't going to be arrested quietly because he was tired of being arrested repeatedly. The report of the incident indicates that he said: "This all ends today." And so it did.
There are probably tens of thousands of people like him in New York City these days.
Eric Garner was combatting Bloomberg’s totalitarian cigarette tax. He was providing a service to people who couldn’t afford draconian prices. When colonists did that 250 years ago, they were called “patriots”. Now, they’re “thugs”? Not in my book.
Sorry, no time to answer any more of your stupid questions.
Those "patriots" you describe from 250 years ago would have tied him to a tree and set him on fire after his third arrest.
My word, but I DO hate lawyers.
.
Not quite. He said he wasn’t going to be arrested that day. The officer who got his arm around him, was off within 10 seconds of Garner saying he couldn’t breath. It took approximately 3 minutes for EMS to arrive. He was alive, and breathing on his own when he got in the ambulance.
There are two videos, I watched both, and timed the events.
He was never choked out! He was conscious and responsive when he entered the ambulance!
They didn’t crush him. Watch the videos and then comment.
No, he wasn’t choked to death. He had an heart attack, in the ambulance, after being forced to the ground. Within 10 seconds of him saying he couldn’t breath, there was no officer touching his throat.
Oh the humanity! If he had been in the street taking a dump and pissing while pleasuring himself he would have gotten off with a warning to "move along".
His big mistake was stepping on the toes of the revenuers.
The guy was a rudimentary businessman providing a needed service to his community. Tobacco is legal. Initiative should be rewarded not punished.
The good news is a year from now they will have spent every last cent and then some.
You take your victims as you find them - but for the choke out he would not have died. The cop killed him.
And he was dead in the hospital. But for the choke out he never would have died.
Policy for the City Attorney’s office from DeBlasio, most likely.

Again - he was NOT choked. The cop did not kill him.....

The “Chokehold.” At issue in this case is the so-called “chokehold” used by Pantaleo. Chokeholds have been banned by the NYPD entirely since 1993; chokeholds are typically defined as holds that prevent people from breathing. Thanks to the video showing Garner stating that he cannot breathe, many pundits have wrongly suggested that Pantaleo was “choking” Garner by depriving him of air from his windpipe. Bratton himself suggested that Pantaleo used a “chokehold,” which is defined by the NYPD as “any pressure to the throat or windpipe, which may prevent or hinder breathing or reduce intake of air.”
That does not appear to have been the case. Garner did not die of asphyxiation, as the head of the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association noted at the time. The preliminary autopsy showed no damage to Garner’s windpipe or neck bones.

This link above is but one of thousands of links that dispute the lies you are believing. Please drop the BLM agenda that “cops are scum”.
So, his physical condition just made him more vulnerable to the choke hold so that:
The medical examiner concluded that Garner was killed by "compression of neck (choke hold), compression of chest and prone positioning during physical restraint by police".
And that was most definitely a choke hold - I watched the video. I've administered many choke holds and taught the same to many Ju-Jitsu students. It looked just like every other choke hold I've ever seen.
"Please drop the BLM agenda that “cops are scum”"
Perhaps you should drop the agenda that "no cops have ever done anything wrong."
