Relatives of 19-year-old Anton Black, who died after being detained by police officers in Maryland, have reached a $5m partial settlement in their wrongful death lawsuit.The agreement includes changes to police training and policies, lawyers for the family of the Black American said on Monday. The federal lawsuit accused Maryland police of excessive force against Anton Black, whom they apprehended outside of his family’s home in Greensboro, Maryland in 2018.Officers handcuffed Black and shackled his legs before he stopped breathing. The lawsuit alleges that the police tried to cover up the killing by spreading false claims that Black was on drugs and exhibiting “superhuman” strength.
