You made a sudden movement towards your waist, he had no choice.
He was scared for his life.
I thought they did?
I know they do in Spain.
Pretty sure they do in the UK.
Interesting.
Is this a a state mandated or federal thing?

No, they explicitly do not in Texas.
In Texas, a cop can only demand your ID if he places you under arrest.
Thanks for clarifying.
It’s interesting how organisations deal with ID.
I remember being refused alcohol for a while because the waitress and then her supervisor couldn’t understand that my passport was ID.
They kept insisting I show them state ID.
It was one of the few times I felt like bringing up a map of the world and pointing out that there are several places that won’t have state id…
Eventually the manager showed up, looked at my passport, then served me himself.

That’s more about the restaurant just protecting themselves, as there are severe penalties for serving alcohol to underage people.

It’s also a willing transaction. You can demand an ID for a transaction.
Cops walking up to you on the street isn’t a transaction. It’s the State accosting you and demanding your papers.
Which the 4th Amendment says they can’t do without probable cause.
I wish i was on the 2nd list but we have Border Guard roadblocks searching buses for any non-whites and demanding to see proof of visa/citizenship in the UK.
Is the question “Why do so many cops become racist?” or “Why do so many racists become cops?”

I suspect it’s a little bit of both at this point.
If you have an institution that is attracting racists already, then it’s almost inevitable that it’d rub off on the non-racists.

The data is actually presented there though, so you can interpret it yourself.
And it doesn’t look good.
Can we do this to corrupt GOP members?
" On Tuesday, June 4, the House Oversight subcommittee on civil rights and civil liberties held the second session in a series of hearings titled: "Confronting White Supremacy.” Among those testifying before the subcommittee was Michael C. McGarrity, the director of the FBI’s Counterterrorism Division. McGarrity explained that right-wing extremists like the Tree of Life Synagogue shooter in Pittsburgh were charged with hate crimes instead of domestic terrorism simply because “there’s no domestic terrorism charge.”
To be clear, there is a law that defines domestic terrorism, but not one that charges people who commit acts of terrorism in America. […]
[…] in spite of the ADL’s report that white supremacists were responsible for 78 percent of extremist murders in 2018, the FBI still dedicates most of its time, money and manpower to investigating and stopping international terrorism.

Terrifying beyond belief. And I bet they lied in their report as usual.
My level of shock is at zero. My prediction is these officers will eventually be fired, won’t go to jail, and they’ll get hired by some other police force.
