TL;DR Summary

Country singer Jason Aldean faced backlash for his music video "Try That in a Small Town," which depicted a Black Lives Matter protest and promoted vigilantism. After criticism, the video was edited to remove the controversial scenes. Aldean's record label cited copyright issues as the reason for the changes. However, critics argue that altering the video does not erase the underlying message of the song, which they believe promotes white supremacist violence. The video was pulled from Country Music Television after three days, and Aldean has faced ongoing criticism on social media.
