The lawsuit was dismissed on a very controversial decision on a IMO terrible legal basis of qualified immunity. And the situation is different. In Floyd's case the government admitted that its cop killed the victim thus it was at fault for the death. In Tony's case the government is not accepting legal responsibility for his death and declined to prosecute the cops.
