I get that America has a long history of lies to hype up/make up anti-black atrocities (like Bob Dylan's The Hurricane, or more recently "Hands up don't shoot"), but the way that guy's gripping that flag is not consistent with "waving it side to side".

And like, the takeaway is still that he’s using an American flag to menace a random black guy, that’s still powerful imagery
