The widow of a retired police captain is speaking out in defense of country music star Jason Aldean’s song “Try That In A Small Town,” saying people need to stand up for their community.
Ret. Police Sgt. Ann Dorn, whose husband David was 𝓀𝒾𝓁𝓁ed in St. Louis during the 2020 Black Lives Matter riots, told “Jesse Watters Primetime” that she wished there were more small-town-minded people around the night her husband was murdered.
“There’s a lot of disrespect now and there’s no sense of community, and people don’t stand up for their community,” she said. “They don’t stop these things that happen in a small town, just like Jason says in his song, you’re not going to do that here, the community’s not going to stand for it.”
Aldean’s music video for his anti-crime song uses footage from the 2020 riots that depicts buildings burning and rioters looting.
