No, the confusion is in your own head, and in the head of that other weirdo in uniform.
There was no threat, you guys are unstable and dangerous.
Then put on your SuperHero t-shirt and underpants (oh, those are already on?) and go out there unarmed and keep the peace. You won't need any thing, except that bravado & big head. Caps won't fit, so just put on that tin-foil hat, stick out the chest and tell us all how you will handle the bad guys.
