In Dallas there is a shortage of People applying so by stating " Affirmative action at work" you must mean someone getting what they don't deserve. If so I agree he did not deserve to die. There was not any good recruits passed over. Maybe a few were denied because of having criminal records or drug issues. Part of the issue is they are not paid enough. Originally Posted by MT Pockets
