I live in the suburbs and always see people walking on quiet roads in the same manner as this woman and I’ve never heard of or seen a police officer stop and ask anyone for ID.

I never have either and people use strollers and all kinds of things and yes they even end up in the middle of the road from time to time. However, I live in a 99 percent white community so it doesn't surprise me.

I called the police out to my place because I saw a prowler with a gun. When the policeman came out, he asked to see MY ID.

I do it too, on back roads with no sidewalk I walk facing traffic until a car comes towards me, then I cross over checking to see if the other lane is busy. Then I cross back as the car passes. She had sidewalks, and should have been using one or the other. She was fishing for a tale to tell.

The police dash cam and their report said she was almost hit by a pick up truck and was impeding traffic.

It's entirely possible that people are stopped, but they don't go to the news and try to make a federal case out of it. They say "Thank you, officer, for your concern about my safety" and go on their way.

I walk in a semi-rural area and have been stopped because I use a walking stick for balance.

I have also been asked for my ID.

It is not unusual and I am white. I just don’t make an issue of being combative and spoiling for a fight.
