fotos from the east side

Yayoi Kusama. Infinity Mirrors. Cleveland. 11 July 2018. 
These two exhibits were free standing, other exhibits were inside boxes where ticket buyers ($30) could see more.

I saw this photographed by a teevee station, and thought it was a good subject. A policeman died after getting ill while doing a training exercise in 90+°F heat. I can believe, he was a good man from the fotos and narrative presented. Previously, another policeman was killed by a car, and that teevee coverage was extravagant. The shooting of a Kennedy, did not get that much in local television. After the former's death, more teevee stories about a tenth anniversary of death of another policeman. Police were upset [they become so often and quickly] about "Black Lives Matter", and countered with "Blue Lives Matter", and "All Lives Matter". Cleveland Police criticise any story that is critical of police, and complain of press coverage. No, this is not true, a truer statement would be police want to control all press coverage on police. "Protect and serve" is propaganda, police are to enforce laws, and often that means arresting people.
I read these two light fixtures, "Protect" and "Serve" were made by Rose Iron Works. The 3rd District Police Station Cleveland has been open less than three years. Outside maintenance is not a priority. This fixture is under roof, and the grime is visible.
