Why not? An unidentified man, tried to enter an apartment complex, where crime had been a problem.
You don't know that, Andy. You obviously wish to believe every word that lily white harassment lady said while paying zero attention to the pov from the darker complected fellow or his kids.. but that's you! Everything's always about you and your neighborhood. Your work. Your personal life... Isn't it, Andy? And my how convenient! Your tiny little world serves as a perfect model for all that may happen elsewhere. No need to study or consider any potential differences. Never any need to provide evidence backing your claims. What seems to have worked for you so far obviously needs to be imposed upon everyone else everywhere. Or else! That's you, Andy.. in a nutshell.
Seems like finding out who you are, before letting you in, seems reasonable to me.
Unless you're the landlord, doorman, or otherwise certified official empowered to block the unlocked main entrance to an apartment building with your body and demand shit from all comers,.. it's not only unreasonable, it's a good way to get yourself arrested, beat up, or shot. Oh, sorry,..silly me. that's right, you're white! No worries!
Grumble.... just out of curiosity, have you been victimized by criminals as many times as I have? Just curious.
Maybe, but probably not dumb enough to compete. How would I know and who cares!? Mind your own (personal) business!
Typically I find this kind of "you have no right to try and defend yourself" comes from people who
...constantly invent positions for others to argue with themselves about instead of engaging things actually said or shared that might be verified (or somewhat interesting, heaven forbid!). Sometimes they even put their little inventions in quotes. Literally stuffing the words into another's mouth. Sort of like gagging them to make sure no real challenge can interfere.. Isn't that special!? Know what they invariably do then? Trick question, sorry. They argue with themselves.. about that lovely position they just invented.. Ho hum...Rinse and repeat..
Well, that's the way it was portrayed. Obviously, if the basis of my comment is wrong, then it doesn't apply.
Beyond that, what you say is ridiculous. Non-white people are just as interested in reducing crime, as anyone else. The Mexicans that live next door to me, installed a camera the faces the entrance to our condo area. No one complained about this, and in fact we supported it.
Unless you can prove that there was some 'racism' involved in this, you are just making up motives to fit your pre-determined narrative to this discussion.

You are on an open forum, where people discuss everything, and often our views on public policy are influenced by our own personal experiences.
You are case and point. Someone who has never had to deal with crime on a routine basis, like I have, often has the idiotic view that everyone should mind their own business.
Yet the moment you yourself are the victim, you'll be asking why all the people around you who saw it happen, did nothing.
I can't even count the number of times, where the family of the victim is on TV, asking someone knows something, please come forward.
The reason they have to do this, is because people knew what was going on and did nothing.
The irony of the left-wing is, when it's someone running their own business, you want to shove your nose up every CEO's butt, and see if you can find anything that smells. You want to dictate how much of their own money they can keep. You want to dictate who they hire, and how much they pay. You want to regulate every aspect of their business.
But when it involves people being robbed, being raped, being abused, their property vandalized or stolen.... the moment the people try and do anything to stop it, you jump on them, and say "mind your own business".
This is why you people are evil. This is why the country is divided between those that want a better country, and those who want to destroy the country.
