Most people are always going to get a little nervous when a cop locks eyes with them and starts walking over. Even if you’re just sitting in a coffee shop, minding your own business, breaking no laws ... wearing a “Veterans Against Trump” T-shirt.

My brain sized him up before he even reached my table. Police officer. White. Middle-aged. Beard. Military tattoos.

I made a snap judgment: Trump supporter looking to pick a fight.

He stopped, smiled, and said, “Hey brother, I like your shirt. Thanks for your service.”
