I don't understand what the big deal is here. Yes, they could have just told her to get on the sidewalk and that's that, but seriously, what's so wrong with asking for ID? It's very typical for police officers to ask for that, it's not like they asked for anything out of the ordinary.

To me its just good public relations.  Other than walking in the road did this lady seem suspicious?  No.  Be pleasant with the citizen...be pleasant with the officer.  No story.
