Okay, I gave you cute critters to bring smiles to your faces this morning, but now it is afternoon, and I am back in my snarky, grumpy, growly mode.
Miscarriage of justice
Former Minneapolis police officer Kimberly Potter was sentenced yesterday. Hennepin County Judge Regina Chu sentenced Potter to a total of 24 months, 16 months to be spent in prison, and 8 months on ‘supervised release’. Murder. Racism. 16 months in prison. Oh, but wait … Ms. Potter is white, so she gets a slap on the wrist. If she were Black and her victim had been white, what do you think the sentence would have been?

A little note to yourself
We get disappointed very easily if don’t see any single person standing by us, who believe in us. But you know what is the biggest disappointment? The biggest disappointment is when even we don’t stand by ourselves, when even we don’t believe in ourselves.
Don’t wait for others my friend, it is you who can make anything possible for yourself.
Start believing in yourself. You can do it.🙂👍🏻
