Are you black? Or live in a black neighborhood? Or someone may have called about suspicious activity and he was just checking it out
Police are used to terrorize the population.
They cause fear of the government.
Don't be scared of them, if you fear them they will control you.
Are 6ou in America? You could have just kept walking.

There's a thing police patrols do in certain countries where they find people out late at night and they record the ID of the person in the system. This record is temporary and has a very good use - if anything happens that night in the area you were walking, and by anything I mean a crime like robbery or assault they call you for an investigation.
This works some times and makes police work a lot easier. I don't know how this action is called in English but don't get upset.
>policeman pulls me over at 3am
>we end up talking about pasta sauces for like two whole hours before he gets called out
