Abstract

i On May 28, 2020, the Minneapolis 3rd Police Precinct burned down after Minneapolis Police Department officers murdered George Floyd, age 46, and after so many similar extra-judicial executions by state agents wielding the state's monopoly on the legitimate use of violence. Ten years earlier, James Baldwin was 38 when he wrote the two essays collectively named after, and ending with, the line: I God gave Noah the rainbow sign, No more water, the fire next time! 5 Rimbaud, Arthur.
