William Burroughs on the famous "flower in the rifle barrel" photograph

By Jack Brummet

William Burroughs had plenty to say when he saw this famous photograph from a Vietnam protest rally:

"...giving flowers to the cops just isn't going to work. This thinking is fostered by the establishment; they like nothing better than love and nonviolence. The only way I like to see cops given flowers is in a flower pot from a high window. "

I do have to give the cop a little credit—a) he didn’t appear to give Fritz a ticket, and b) he didn’t bring up either Hitler or sauerkraut.

What caption would you put on this found photograph? A collective phrase, evil little thought bubbles emanating from each of the student's heads? And why is everyone staring at the word "cop," anyhow?
