Tennie Pierce thought he had it coming but the light at the end of the tunnel was a train. He being a 6 foot 4 black ex-firefighter who used to call himself Big Dog. Apparently, somebody put dog food into a plate of spaghetti and so he tried to sue the City of LA for racial harassment. For 2.7 million dollars. The City Council approved the settlement and then it came to light that the Big Dog used to do some of the same tricks.
Would you eat a can of dog food for 2.7 million dollars? I know I would. In fact, I would eat over the course of a month, an entire 50 pound bag of dog food. The retiree in question, 'Big Dog' surely didn't have more than a bite, but hey he's a victim. At this point in the saga, the settlement has been denied and it goes to trial in the arguably incompetent hands of Rocky Delgadillo, the LA City Attorney who is fast losing the confidence and respect of the City Council. Rocky was incompetent to find the mitigating circumstances and was the one to wring his hands over the possibility that a black jury would find for the plaintiff and therefore cost the city even more than 2.7.
Integrity? Lacking.
Pierce has got a lot of nerve and I'm sure he was counting on spineless bureaucrats like Delgadillo's staff to wuss out. I'm disgusted with the pair of them. Let's see if we hear whimpering from the Coalition of the Damned this time around.
