Pearson didn't blow any whistles. He knew his lawsuit was frivilous and he proceeded with it anyway. He was just hoping the jury was stupid enough to buy his BS. I like the whole "skipped over promotion" argument. Pearson has never been a serious contender for promotion to Major. If it wasn't for Civil Service testing, he wouldn't even be a lieutenant. He was arrogant thru his whole trial. He went around telling everybody how wealthy he was going to become off the City's pockets. The guy gets zero,
