        I think the flag is supposed to represent the country, not crooked cops.

        The 3 bullets speak for themselves. The full verses of the song were about things that are f*cking up. Of slavery or fratricide?

        I'm truly surprised Obama doesn't take a knee when flag is shown. He seems to kneel & bow to every 2 bit potentate & world despot
