My Jandek Plague Journal: 5/29/20 "Sleeping in the Dream"

(instrumental for piano and harp) Police continue to riot in Minneapolis--breaking windows, setting fires, attacking anyone documenting it, and then whining about mourners and violence. The murderers who laughed on video while murdering a man are still free and the cops are still outraged that they were held to any kind of account for murder. All this in the midst of the pandemic. Poor timing on the cops' part: it seems face masks block facial recognition. The cops can't identify the activists and mourners saying "stop." No doubt that's doubly infuriating to the paid protesters of the reopen riots: by protecting their neighbors' health through wearing masks, the Minneapolis mourners and activists are able to take action to defend the lives of their community. As with every step of this pandemic, every assertion of a right-to-life must be met with violence. The President is threatening to deploy the military. -5/29/20.
