No, they realized that most of what they were agitated about has come to pass.
To wit,

* the in-the-works closing of the quick store of Brown's theft. Turns out the store was banking weed, and selling it on the side for various business partners, of which Brown, off and on, was one.

DQ, the insurance company was the one in the works who initiated the settlement proposal, not Brown's parents. In north county, it would take a jury pool fathered by Larry, Curly, and Moe not to rule for the Browns. The insurance company was exposed to $3M, and then the city of Ferguson, the FPD, and other named parties to the suit were collectively and individually liable for any excess lawsuit moneys above that. The insurance company and the city were happy for getting off lightly.
