That’s another way of saying that Springsteen wrote a love song to fascists who believe that mob violence should act as a veto on the law. That a video showing an armed Alex Pretti, lionized in Springsteen’s song, spitting and hurling abuse at federal agents before he kicked out their taillight, came out the same day as “Streets of Minneapolis” proves inconvenient. Springsteen even depicts federal law enforcers as “Trump’s private army.”This seems like not just distortion but projection. The song omits that part about ICE agents heroically risking life and limb to arrest child-molester illegal aliens or Somali immigrants ripping off billions from the taxpayers. One can forgive a casual fan for confusing “Streets of Minneapolis” with “Streets of Philadelphia,” “Streets of Fire,” “Racing in the Street,” “Out in the Streets,” “Backstreets,” and any number of other numbers written by the vocalist of the E Street Band.
