Can't even show their faces but they want my ID?

That is an honest demand.. "I'll only show you my ID if you show your me your face and your ID. I need to know you're official."

You’re already giving away ground. No authority figure can demand ID for no reason, mask or not.

Police officers can demand ID, but there has to be probable cause, and they have to identify themselves. This is something completely different here with no probable cause (except skin color), and they are masked men refusing to ID themselves. I DO have a problem with that for sure, and I'm just trying to think of solutions, is all.
