A routine check of IDs?

Ok, it's 11 pm at night (I'm not sure how late this library is supposed to be open).

Now, here's the question:
Was he being carded because of his gender (because we all know that any male out alone that late at night must be out to commit a violent act against a female), or because of his assumed race (I don't see a picture in this article, but several factors lead me to believe that possibility, one being the justification of 11Sep2001 (that's the correct format according to my job :) )), or some other excuse?

Who needs a baton when you can shock those horribly violent non-violent protesters into submission?

Ok, a legitamate question is: why was he being asked to leave in the first place? Were the police carding everyone and not letting in anyone without an ID? Or did he do something prior to the cops asking for ID?

This should be interesting.
