George Strait is honoring law enforcement.
On Thursday, the 69-year-old country music icon released a music video for his song "The Weight of the Badge," which was originally released on his 2019 album "Honky Tonk Time Machine."
The video kicks off with a clip of police officers raising the American flag outside of the New York State Police Academy.
"You have people that are going out and doing a job to defend your communities," a voiceover says. "And you know in the back of the mind of every one of those officers – one of them might not be going home."

"Sometimes, I don't think we realize the impact that this job has had on our families, let alone ourselves," he continued. "That's a heavy weight. That's the heavy weight of the badge."

"He swore that oath to protect and serve / Pours his heart and soul into both those words / Lays his life on the line," Strait sings in the chorus. "And the line he walks is razor-fine / Tempered strength is always tough / But he ain't gonna buckle under the weight of the badge."
