The widow of a retired officer who was killed in the 2020 Black Lives Matter (BLM) riot spoke out in support of Jason Aldean’s new song.

In an interview on “Jesse Watters Primetime,” Ret. Police Sgt. Ann Dorn, whose husband, David was killed during the riots, defended Aldean’s song “Try That In A Small Town” and called the controversy “absurd” after watching the music video.

“It speaks of small-town values. It speaks of community values. It speaks of standing up for ourselves,” she said.

Continuing, Dorn inquired, “When did it become illegal in the United States of America for us to stand up for ourselves? That’s our given rights to protect ourselves, our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness.”

She further explained she understood Aldean’s intentions behind the song despite the criticism it has received.

“It’s a sense of community. It’s a sense of neighborhood. It’s a sense of taking care of each other, and we’ve gotten so far away from that that it’s actually very scary,” she added.

When asked by Watters if she wished “there were more small-town-minded people around” on the night of her husband’s murder, Dorn responded, “I do. There’s a lot of disrespect now and there’s no sense of community, and people don’t stand up for their community.”

“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,” she stated.

Furthermore, Dorn said, “The community’s not gonna allow you to come into our town and destroy our town. We’re gonna defend it and we’re gonna defend it with our lives if we have to.”

This came after Aldean, 46, addressed accusations on his Twitter page that his song was ”pro lynching” and was in reference to the Black Lives Matter protests in 2020.

“These references are not only meritless but dangerous,” the country singer wrote. “There is not a single lyric in the song that references race or points to it- and there isn’t a single video clip that isn’t real news footage -and while I can try and respect others to have their own interpretation of a song with music- this one goes too far.”
