I was tempted to reply, "you're not from around here, are you?" but that's probably a bit too snarky.
There are only four states that require you have an ID during a police stop and Texas is not one of them. Obviously if you're driving, a driver's license is required. But for a random stop walking down the road? Nope, Texas does not require that you have ID.
To the rest of your post: I honestly don't know where to start. You're making a lot of assumptions that don't hold. Suffice to say that it's a lot harder to prevail in a case against the police than you realize.
People get arrested/thrown into jail for no reason far more often than you apparently think. I know someone (a software developer actually) who was attacked by an undercover officer in a case of mistaken identity. He fought back not knowing the guy was a cop. To prevent him from being able to sue, they charged him with assaulting a police officer. After months of trying to fight it in court, he finally gave up. City dropped the charges as long as he agreed not to sue them.
This is why people are so pissed and why there have been so many protests in the last few years. Everyone is tired of this shit.
Let’s assume all of that is true. How come that your media feeds me stuff about “it’s a MAGA country” cases that turn out to be hoaxes or “it’s okay to be white” signs at college campuses instead of citizens being unlawfully detained so often it is a legitimate threat to half of the state’s population?
That sounds like a massive conspiracy that all media (left, liberal, conservative) are part of.
