We can have empathy for sociopaths and psychopaths, and still want them separated from the rest of society.
We can try to understand and address the socioeconomic causes of crime, while also aggressively deterring crime and punishing criminals.
We can recognize that the police are over-militarized and under-trained and burdened with too many responsibilities, while also recognizing that they face a population that is increasingly armed to the teeth and hostile due to a social media outrage machine.
We can have a sane immigration policy and protect our borders while recognizing that immigrants are vital to the economy and having empathy for refugees or people simply fleeing violence, and without separating children from their parents or locking them in cages.
