A jury Tuesday ordered the city of Los Angeles to pay $1.2 million to a black police officer who alleged he was the butt of vulgar racial harassment by a white supervisor and other officers.
In his lawsuit, Earl Wright, who joined the department in 1989, accused the supervisor, Sgt. Peter Foster, and a handful of officers of carrying out racial pranks and making comments that left him "embarrassed and humiliated."

So he put up with the "racial harassment" for over 20 years and is just now coming forward?
I think he wants to go out a bit early and salt his retirement.
Expect a lot more of this in the future. And, expect the LA City Council to ALWAYS capitulate, even though LA is dead, flat, broke.

The LA police department is majority hispanic. I think its something like 32% white and only 12% black.

Then Blacks are over represented in a city with 9.8% Black population.
They need to start firing Blacks,

You mean Rin Tin Tinnie Pierce?? The one who ate two bites of dog food and even CALLED himself the Big Dog? The one who was famous for playing pranks on other firefighters including one I can't repeat on a family site like this?
This Tennie Pierce?
He got $1.5 million from the LA City Council of Idiots -- legal fees pushed it to over $3 million.
