I have no interest in tone-policing protesters, however, if I move to foreign country for a better life for myself and my family and am protesting for my right to stay in that country and pursue that dream, I'm not waving around an American flag on that soil.

That is such a hilariously unlikely hypothetical you could have saved time and effort by either putting a period after "I have no interest in tone-policing protestors" and leaving it at that OR just saying "I don't like what they're doing."
