Developing . . .
It’s 3:30pm. I’m at work and just outside our door is a a huge team of S.W.A.T. guys with a bunch of hip-hoppers all zip-tied up and on the ground. I look outside our door, see the commotion, and right now a massive man hunt is underway. They have their guns drawn, running around our small parking lot, just past my car! I can now hear helicopters above — they’re looking for someone who escaped! Brian, my boss, has just put on “Murder Is The Case” by Snoop Dogg. Jeremy just put on “Bad Boys” – the theme to Cops.
Our door is locked.
Pray that I am able to tell you all the rest of this story.

UPDATE 4:30 PM.
Things have calmed down now. Though there’s still the sound of 2 helicopters above our building, the 10-12 people in the SWAT team have gone away in their armored truck. The press is also here, walking around, taking pictures. I’m wondering if it has anything to do with this.

First, since Lauren seems to do most of the posting, after the first sentence I’m thinking, “What kind of school does she teach at?”
Second, those are pretty pro-cop, anti-criminal/rapper songs to play. You have to work next to these people, and you know this will happen again, so may I suggest a more anti-cop/pro-rapper song next time: KRS-One’s “Sound Of Da Police”, numerous Cypress Hill songs, and just about everything by NWA. You should just have an entire playlist on the ready.

You’re right, we really should get a proper playlist ready. But from what it sounds like, they’re all busted and won’t be around for a while. Here’s some stories from the local news and some background info as well.
Interesting stuff. Shows you how corrupt the business is.
