    As someone who supports reforming law enforcement and protecting free speech (ie. flag burning), I don’t see anything wrong with a song that promotes law enforcement and criticizes flag burning. Those aren’t “dog whistles” or whatever people what to dismiss/demonize them as, they’re just an expression of views I don’t entirely agree with.

      The implication is very clear that they will hurt you if you burn the flag near them. I personally don’t exactly support actions limiting free speech, which is exactly what he’s saying they want/already do.
