28. "Show me your ID" is getting pretty close to "Show me your papers" . . .

. . . slippery slope, jack boots, fascism and all that.

If we keep yielding to this and no one stands up to them, we're acquiescing to our accelerating drift towards a police state.

My hat is off to the young lady for standing up to a principle, a Constitutional freedom.

Too many people, even here DU, a progressive site, don't seem to get that.

Guess it takes people of color, especially black people, to show the way and be the vanguard since they bear the brunt of most of this erosion of rights, even of life (see Ferguson, MO).
