09/22/2007: "Fire fighter settles for $1.4m in racial harassment case"

The city will pay $1.43 million to settle claims by a black firefighter who said he suffered harassment and discrimination after co-workers served him spaghetti laced with dog food, officials announced Friday.

The cases have cost Los Angeles taxpayers more than $15 million since 2005. Fire Chief William Bamattre was forced to retire last year amid accusations that he'd failed to root out hazing. Douglas Barry became the city's first black fire chief when he was sworn in last week.

[ It's going to keep costing because multiculturalism doesn't work and our pretentious society won't admit it. ]
