I don't mean to direct all of my anger at police. I know that they are often trained to do the things that they do, adn that the steroids that they take are often the cause of their rage and violence. It is the policy makers that are the main cause of the loss of liberty.

Police are the most likely group of people to abuse steroids.

No difference. Just the phrasing....
But those questions themselves are not necessarily indications of fascism or unreasonable activity.
It's what happens when you say "no thank you, I'm fine"

There is a difference.
The Nazis were able to randomly demand to see your papers for any reason, or no reason at all, anywhere, anytime - period. Same thing with the Soviets. During WWII, this practice also used to be allowed in the U.S. In some towns like Eastchester, NY the cops were actually allowed to check if you had I.D. and money in your wallet, and then arrest you for vagrancy if you couldn't show either.
But nowadays, a cop in the U.S. cannot demand to see your identification without probable cause and then arrest you merely for not complying with that, otherwise he would be committing an illegal search (the supreme courts in several states have already ruled on this). There is such a charge as "failure to I.D." but that only applies if you're driving a car and he's pulling you over for a traffic violation, or if he has some other *specific* and *articulable* reason to believe that you've committed some sort of violation in the first place. If, for instance, you really are just innocently minding your own business and a cop hassles you because you look like you don't belong in his neighborhood or whatever, you are perfectly free to tell him to go piss up a flagpole (just don't threaten him).

No more lies...I can't help but wonder with the inflammatory nature of some of your questions if your trolling?
I love the quotes you use..And I've answered some of your questions. We are not a police state. I wouldn't live in one. I sure as heck wouldn't be a police officer in one.
We must hold the freedoms the founding fathers gave us dear. Most officers are also veterans of the US military, where we made sure this country stays free.
Please reflect on that.

the main difference is race
i have been picked up by police walking at night where they though i shouldn't and been asked for my id or drivers license and when i said i didn't have it because I'm not driving they tell me I'm required to produce id when asked
but then we here daily here in AZ that they can't tell who is illegal because they can't ask for their papers my id is my papers and they can ask me but I'm white

"Lets see some ID" sounds pretty much average American lingo..
"YOUR PAPERS, PLEASE?" sounds pretty much average Nazi.
