"I can't breath!" Protest

-


Hello coffee lovers,


Everyone has been on high alert lately and I am not just talking about the double espresso. This year has been hard on many of us and we have lost so many lives over these few months. When I say losing lives I am not just talking about COVID, I am talking about the abuse of many that lead to losing lives. Believe it or not from police department members themselves.

I believe and this is only my opinion is that fear is getting to us all. We are all reacting in ways that we should have been thinking twice about. Am I making an excuse for the police, nope? I think abuse of any kind form anybody is very awful altogether.

Today I saw a video that was I can only assume a rally from my fellow African Americans in Minneapolis.  There was a rally there because they are tired of the abuse and the cruelty against them. They are loosing more and more lives just trying to breathe in the area of where they live.



 This rally was based on a gentleman named Goerge Floyd. This man was falsely accused of forged documents at Cup Foods. He was being held down by police officers and because of the attempt of holding him down his life was lost. Yet the police department members were fired, so many people feel unsafe and upset. We have always known there were problems when it comes to police officers, sometimes we find crooked cops, but even the these days crooked all different races they all seem to just react in ways we wish we never have seen. I think more training has to happen especially when approaching the community when one is obeying your rules.

The beginning of the rally was pretty peaceful and somehow as time went by the peacefulness became overall loud on both sides. Police and the people, I think there was so much anger in many voices and they wanted to know the police know they were beyond and the police as always got scared because they did not know how to handle the situation. Like many rallies before them, things were shattered, words were yelled and smoke was thrown. But the questions remain "Did anyone really hear the cry of the souls that were lost because of police brutality? "

Maybe, but did they care?

Until next time keep the expressos coming!☕☕☕☕

Hello Coffee Lovers, Today, I was drinking my coffee. As I was enjoying my drink, watching a show called (The Resident), I am pretty sure many people are familiar with it. I found it while strolling on Netflix.Of course, it's no Grey’s Anatomy. Somehow it had a way of catching my attention. I am discussing this with you because a few of the episodes were about being addicted to one thing or another and trying to help them. I feel as though anyone happened to know one or even has been through it yourself. Today, of course, it may be a bit easier to get help with the many programs they have now. They also have online help and video chatting.Now, my question to all my readers is, do you believe that those who are addicted to drugs or drinking. Can they be helped? The statistics show that eventually, they will fall off the wagon.I must admit that many people try really hard to change,but the percentage of Relapse is Between 40% and 60%. When you think about those scary static ...

Hello coffee Lovers, The conversation we are about to have is very deep and very informational at least to me and I hope to you readers as well. I suggest you grab your coffee closer to your lattes steamer and espresso shots that will keep you going through this. Get ready and let's talk about what most of the world has. Anxiety. Everyone is scared of this word and to be honest ist so natural these days. I have my own story to tell how I didn't know I had it until my younger 20’s. I was stressed out about my job. I just quit it because he was a true womanizer. I couldn't take any more of it. I quit and while thinking about it on the way out I thought about my past and I thought of things I could have been, I got in my head so much by the time I got home my heart was beating right out of my chest. I felt light headed and I couldn't breathe. My heart started to beat faster and i felt myself locking up.Not being able to move.I was on my bed just thinking thats it. I a...

Hello coffee lovers, I have been drinking coffee for a very long time, Since maybe the age of 10. Knowing that I can drink coffee and still think about my past, we know that the past has a way of alway being in the back of your mind. Like I remember drinking coffee at 6am in the morning with my stepmom and playing Mario Bros. Some memories go away or you forget but some memories of the past you cannot forget. Let's Talk about victims in young ages who can’t forget their past even if they wanted to. Abuse is a word that carries a huge amount of weight, yet it's one of the many people who struggle to fully understand until they've experienced it firsthand. For too long , I kept my story hidden, wrapped in a blanket of shame,fear and uncertainty but today ,I'm breaking my silence. This is my journey from victim to a survivor ,and I hope that by sharing my story,others who have faced similar struggles will find the strength to speak out and seek help. Abuse can take m...
