Can I vent and explain my confusion? [View all]
I am a 72-year-old white male. I drove an auto in America for 55 years. I have been stopped by the police about 15 times for minor traffic offenses during those years, at various ages in my life. Never serious infractions, just speeding or rolling through a stop sign. I was always treated with respect and professionalism by the police.
During my time in college and my work life, I have had many African American male co-workers and acquaintances. Often, the subject of the police would come up (now, remember, I'm talking about conversations that covered a half century). I have not conversed with one of these men in which they did not have at least one negative (and fearful) encounter with a white police officer. Donald Trump wants to empower local police to be tougher in such instances and give the officers immunity.
My question is, "why would any African American man want to vote for Trump"?
