Ok I lied - I will respond.

You don't know the demographics yet agree with the student's assessment of profiling. You don't know if he was singled out or simply the first in what was intended to be many. You don't know what his actions were at the time of the request but...
This can go on and on.

This has everything to do with submitting to an ID check. If a cop stopped you for no reason and asked for your ID without just cause, you'd be pretty upset too (I hope). Harassment from authority is something we have a right to live free of.

An ID check in a closed area at a restricted time. How is this hard to understand?
I have had my ID checked without just cause - actually quite a few times - it's called a Checkstop. Perhaps you should refuse and stand up for your rights next time you go through one.
Lastly, if having to produce ID upon request in a secured area is defined as harassment - the authorities can feel free to "harass" me.

Lots of misrepresentations of what I wrote. I didn't suggest a course of action, certainly not assaulting the cop. There's a lot that can be done to protect someone who's being victimized without resorting to violence.
Also, in this scenario the students out numbered the police, not vice versa.

No, a course of action was not suggested but it was implicit.
Lot's can be done without violence? Like say "Stop! Or I will say stop again!"?
