[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I voted for Hillary, but I also can understand the perspective of people who voted for Trump.  It's called empathy.  None of the people I know personally who voted Trump are racist, sexist, etc.  They didn't like Trump but thought he would best represent their conservative interests. [/quote]
If you truly did vote for Hillary, I applaud you for your empathy for those who have conservative preferences. If DCUM is representative, you are a rarity among liberals.

To others, think of this from the cop's perspective. He is, by the poster's admission, a decent and good guy, and thus it can be extrapolated that he chose a helping profession for altruistic reasons, and possibly even risks his life daily for the sake of his community. Now, harken back (I was a lit undergrad, LOL) to the days of the Democratic convention. On the first night, Hillary trotted out the "Mothers of the Whatever" - black women who had lost their sons to police action, even though these sons were, for the most part, in open defiance of police orders. To me, it was a blatant ploy to win over black voters by siding with them over the police. It was not until the fourth night, when apparently Hillary's advisors really to what extent she was dissing cops, that they honored the wife of a fallen police officer. If I were a cop, I wouldn't have voted for her, either.[/quote]

These "cop sympathy" posters are CLEARLY all white folks.  What if you are a cop/LEO AND a minority?  What if you are high-ranking and struggle to manage and have authority over a group of people who don't see the world the ssme way you do when your uniform/badge comes off at 6:00 every evening?  What if your neighbors have called the neighborhood watch on YOU because you were out for an evening jog in your off-duty attire of sweats and a hoodie?  Please don't get it twisted, there is a lot of diversity in law enforcement in the Washington DC area and it is very prevalent that minority law enforcement officers and officials DON'T vote Republican, and know what it feels like to be on BOTH sides of the fence, and it sucks on both sides.[/quote]
