A Texas judge sparked outrage after footage captured him lashing out at an IT worker who was helping him fix his computer.
A video making the rounds online of Harris County Judge Nathan Milliron shows him brutally scolding a friendly IT worker who was trying to fix his computer's audio while in a courtroom.
The unpleasant interaction has prompted many to take to social media to call Milliron 'rude', 'emotional', and a 'p*k'.
Milliron appeared bothered when the video begins as the IT worker in a dark red hoodie stepped in to help.
As the judge stepped away from his bench, the computer specialist reassured him that it's a quick fix and that he won't need to go far.
With what appears to be just a few clicks, the job is complete, and the IT worker stepped back and said, 'Okay, false alarm.'
Milliron snapped at the tech specialist after he claimed the problem wasn't a serious issue: 'No, it wasn't a false alarm.'
The IT worker jokingly replied, 'False negative?' Seemingly trying to lighten the tense atmosphere.
