It's weird that this needs to be said.
The scenario described (and seen in this country) is absolutely reasonable suspicion for a violent felony, and one of many reasons law enforcement needs to be identifiable as such.

It's more than "a distraction " everything being done is being done with purpose to rip the fibers of democracy apart. There are real life implications, I wouldn't call those distractions.
