It sounds like racism of a profession
The deputy was black as well as the now deceased civilian.
My point was, classifying all law enforcement as evil reminds me of the talk I used to hear when i was a little kid. "All, (insert ethnic group) are such and such." Its sad.

Here they are. Giving trucks out to drunk employees with warrants out for their arrest. Grrrr....
Tried to send a shaming email to them. I think they are either flooded with emails or that form has been disabled.
Playing with Ansible. Really fascinating, really looks to be powerful.
I have not seen one meme today..... I depend on my Mango Lassi memes to get through the day.

Fucking over it.
I'll be back later.
Calm down and be rational (as best you can) throwing a shit fit will not work in your favor. Good luck.
That's why I went for a walk and grabbed some food.
Smoked real quick.
It's not professional.
Good. Now get some help and nail these bastards. You owe it to your replacement.

It's not professional.Nor legal. US law says you get paid for time worked. In fact, you get paid for work done even if they don't make you do it - they have to fire you if they don't like paying for that extra time (I don't like that law, but I understand why it exists.) If you were in any way involved with them, whether reading email, avialable for a call, at your desk, thinking about their needs... they HAVE to pay. It's not a discussion, it's not a negotiation. The work has been done, the money is now yours. It is theft to not pay you. There's zero "up to the manager" here. Zero. And they can't fire you for demanding not to be stolen from, that's even more illegal. They can't threaten to hurt you to get you to work for free.
He's literally demanding that you be a slave.
here's the kicker; He doesn't have any say in what I get paid.
So then why is he asking/mentioning it or otherwise discussing your pay?
He's attempting to steal from him and convince him not to call the authorities.
My guess is that someone above this prick knows the law and will throw him out on his ass with one meeting regarding his bully tactics. Have you tried going over his head? By all means, get out of there, but at least take it to HR.
Working on "Linux Foundation Certified System Administrator (LFCS)" by Sander Van Vugt,
Getting ready for a total Citrix/VMware kickoff meeting. Gonna be a scrub and rebuild (unless unable) of all of the gateways, storefronts, DDC servers, WEM, and who knows what else. This will be my opportunity to get a better understanding of the architecture of our systems. Was robbed of that ability last time this happened. This time I will be an active participant. Yay me!!
Trying to convince my boss that MangoCon is a good thing.
With events unfolding, we do not live in a district that hands out laptops or chrome books to its students. I have never looked at them. If it were you, and you were buying for your children "two boys" what would you look at. Any advice would help, I know nothing about them, am reading up on them as we speak. Thanks MangoLasians.
memes are what is getting me through this. Thanks Mangolassians.
@black3dynamite They have GOT to stop breaking down doors for warrants..... I dont care who you are, someone kicks your door in, the last thing on your mind is "They must be here about the warrant". I dont understand the logic behind kicking in a door and expecting a warm welcome and a hug.

New South Wales erosion: Huge swells leave homes at risk of collapse
Huge waves have pummelled the Australian state of New South Wales, eroding some coastal areas and putting homes at risk of collapse.
In beach suburbs to the north of Sydney, residents lost decks and fences as the surf lapped at the edge of properties. Authorities say they have recorded waves as high as 11m (36ft) this week off the city's coastline. The wild surf has been caused by a strong low pressure system. On Friday, the Bureau of Meteorology (Bom) re-issued a "hazardous" surf warning for the state's entire 2,100km (1,300-mile) coastline.Sounds like some builders ignored their erosions studies, or didn't do them.

Erosion deniers. LOL
Nope. Gotta be Trumps fault somehow.

@scottalanmiller since we both live in Texas, can you help me understand your position on the racism part of admission? I honestly dont know about it. I was 50th in my class of 98, so I never bothered applying. Went the community college route. No one that i know has applied to a state university. I attended UNT but do not recall the admission requirements. If this is true I will petition my local representatives to cease and desist. Racist systems truly have to be stopped. I want to be part of the solution.
