So from a purely legal perspective.....

When you look at the actual details attached to the various degrees of murder and manslaughter you'll find they don't align with what the public outcry and my personal sense of justice is demanding.

Realistically, the cops who stood by will likely not be charged with anything.

I expect the knee-to-the-neck cop to be charged with manslaughter and additional charges like assault and gross negligence, convicted of involuntary manslaughter, and be sentenced to 15 years, but be out in 6.

It's just the reality of the limits of the law. You CAN, however, petition for changes in law enforcement and the law itself. Lobby, organize, petition, write your representatives.

Lately, I’ve been searching for ways on how to lessen my screen time an hour or two before dozing off at night. And I think I just found the perfect way to achieve that goal — reading a book until I fall asleep.

Ever since the pandemic started, I noticed that the time that I unconsciously allot with my phone has increased which resulted to screwed up sleeping pattern. Minimum of five hours of uninterrupted sleep is all my system needs for me to think clearly and have an awesome mood the next day. However, since I started working at home, I get less than what my body needs. And when I don’t get enough sleep the night before, I get cranky the entire day. No amount of caffeine could cure my lack-of-sleep-induced crankiness. And we don’t want Cyrine to get cranky. Nah-uh. Even I hates my irritable self.

I am incorporating this to my new normal night routine instead of wasting my time, scrolling aimlessly on social media until I doze off to dreamland. This new routine follows right after my quick shower. Trust me, the last thing that you’d want to feed your brain with before sleeping are toxic posts on Facebook or on any social media platform.
