The Constitution is a Federal Document not a local document and the Federal Government attempts to defend the Constitutional rights for all of its citizens. The Flag, the Anthem and the Constitution both are representations of our Federal Government so those that are disrespecting any of the three of them are disrespecting the very Government that is trying to protect its citizens from abuses from local Law Enforcement or any other agency that is abusing its authority.
