Here is the way this conversation should have went
Officer: "Sir I'm going to need you to step outside."
Professor: "I'm sorry officer is there a problem?"
Officer: "We have received a call about someone breaking into this property and are here to investigate. Please step outside."
Professor: "Ah, I can explain officer. I live here and just returned from a long trip. The door was swollen shut and I had to forcible enter."
Officer: "Can you please show me a photo ID with your address."
Professor: "Here you go officer, I appreciate you putting your life on the line to protect my property."
Officer inspects the ID and sees the address. Calls into control and verifies the ID and homeowner of the property.
Officer: "Thank you sir, i'm sorry to bother you."
Professor: "No problem officer, again thank you for putting your life on the line to protect my property."
Let's face it this is not a case of racism but instead a case of assholism. So many things in this world go much smoother if you are nice.

Dalton: All you have to do is follow three simple rules. One, never underestimate your opponent. Expect the unexpected. Two, take it outside. Never start anything inside the bar unless it's absolutely necessary. And three, be nice.
