Yes it was 2.7 million dollars. (As a settlement not as a jury award!)
And to think they actually pay some poor lady at Purina about $35,000 a year to taste dog food on a daily basis. I think she needs to join the LA Fire Department. But then again she's probably white, so her chances of prevailing in a lawsuit are probably about the same as my chances of actually arresting a gang member without myself getting shot or sued.
I'm not particularly fond of the idea of being transgendered. In San Francisco and other cities, they allow men to dress like women when they show up for work. I'm wondering if I were to dress up as a black man, would my chances of being able to actually arrest a gang member or a terrorist without being sued be any better.
There's a store on my beat that sells bling bling, grills, hip hop spinners, baggy pants and high tops. Do you think if I walked my beat dressed like that and flashed a few signs, that I would get more respect from these young men?
Confused Cop in LA.
hahahaha... man, 2.7 mill, that is alot of money. For a dog food dinner.
Hmmm... more love if you put on the bling.... no, I can't see 'much love' if you put on the bling and flashed some signs. But maybe the dept. would give you a few days off? With pay??? ah, white guy, probably not.
I think were just screwed.
Well, I'd love to stay and chat, but I gotta work off duty at a liquor store in a bit.
I grew up in Corona & Norco by the way. Many moons ago.
