Uh, they don’t? Not an American, but sounds completely normal to me?

These people don’t get it. Change the story. “Concerned” citizen sees a black person and calls the cops. Cops come up and demand ID to ensure everything is okay.
It’s the same kind of situation. Clearly not acceptable and has long history of racism and bigotry.
It’s not okay with someone who happens to be short either.
Is the OP expected to hand over ID to validate after every damn concerned citizen?
This is also not getting into how the police often waste time on improper calls and don’t spend time on more important things. They selectively choose what to spend time on, and that’s often a problem.
