You can’t play Sweet Home Alabama in America anymore? When did they outlaw that? Was it the frickin’ Kenyan lowlife who did it?
Well, considering it was a protest on the West Side, the music played should have been rap to fit in with the neighborhood.
If you ever hear them play “Money For Nothing” on the Radio nowadays, they completely eliminate the line “that little faggot is a millionaire”. I’m sure Mark Knoffler was cool with it, right?
I even heard a version where the word “faggot” was replaced with another word.
Remember when Ted Turner was eviscerated for Colorizing Classic Movies? He was decried for ruining the Artist’s Vision or something like that.
Now that we are a PC Nation, no more outrage. If you see a Dukes of Hazzard General Lee Dodge Charger “clone” Car on TV, the Confederate Battle Flag is missing from the roof.
My black friend/supervisor plays this song from his Pandora list in at work. Also, he is from Alabama. We don’t talk politics, but I’m suee he leans more to the left, but certainly not full blown and stupid, like we have seen in Ferguson and elsewhere recently.

Sure, but not from a police car at a riot (oops, I mean a protest) ;-)
God bless him for trying, though. I’m glad to hear there are cops exhibiting an attitude of “had it to here” instead of rolling over and sucking up to the street vermin.
Don’t you know? “Sweet”, “Home”, and “Alabama” are all racists white privilege words. Other words on the verboten list are “individual”, “responsible”, “liberty”, and “freedom”.
There is such a thing as professionalism while on duty. I'd bet there are 100s of possibilities for similar to be done that you would heartily disagree with.
