That suggests to me that the County's attorneys thought that there was little chance in hell that they'd ever prevail in court and that a jury would probably ding them for one or more orders of magnitude more in damages and punies. And besides the hefty damages, because it'd be a civil rights case, the County would have to pay for both sets of attorneys, as well.
Now the question will be as to what disciplinary actions or criminal charges will be filed against the cops who administered the beating. I'm betting "none", but I'm a bit cynical.

Having watched the video (go ahead, it's tough to watch) of the guy getting dragged into the wagon, those cops beat the shit outta him after stopping him for running from police. Not a crime.
"Punitive" measures against cops who demonstrate the only skills required and demanded by every cop department in the whole police state system?
Certainly not, especially when lawsuit payoffs come directly out of taxpayer wallets.
"Yep, he shot himself 19 times in the back with three different calibers, Your Honor. Messiest suicide our department's ever witnessed."
