Like sorry I’m a little person & my bf is not, but I’m 21 years old not a child. Could’ve came up to us & asked if they were so concerned.

I’m not but the police is still a rotten institution and I needed a pic to use.
Lol. Did the cops handle this well, at least? Did it take them time to judge your age, or did they just laugh and leave?
They asked for my ID, asked a couple of questions and that was it.
So… good cop? Sounds perfectly fine tbh, I mean what should they have done? Ignore the call?!
No such thing.
Cops don’t have a right to just show up and start demanding ID without probable cause that an actual crime has been committed. So… no, not good cop.
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.
Uh, they don’t? Not an American, but sounds completely normal to me?
We know it wasn’t in the US otherwise they would have felt threatened and shot you.
Sorry it happened to you.
Still an overstep IMO. Little people don’t look like kids, it’s super uncalled for.
Yeah but the cops can’t have known this when they get a call, no?
Yeah, but when they arrived. Like no need to check her Id if she looks old enough.
