Tennie Pierce is a black Los Angeles firefighter who claimed that he was the victim of a race-related prank in which he was given a plate of spaghetti containing dog food. He ate two bites before he figured out what was going on. The Los Angeles City Council recently voted 11-1 to give him a $2.7 million settlement rather than take it to trial.

Since that time, KFI's John & Ken have waged a campaign to get the council to reconsider their decision, but they recently voted that down six to six. It's not known who was on the side of sanity, but it would be at least Dennis Zine and Bill Rosendahl.

This was after photos surfaced that appear to show Pierce himself taking part in other pranks against other firefighters. In fact, his lawyer says that was figured into the settlement.

Maybe there's a way for L.A. residents to sue the City Council, or perhaps his expert witness, sociologist David Wellman. According to this, he previously opined:

"[Blacks] have a gyroscope that picks up hostile stuff that somebody else would not see as hostile."
