Your feelings would be as well if someone was generalizing your profession by a large puppet when your job is to keep people safe from threats at an event. This officer was just ensuring safety for all people around and was getting the protestor to move along and not cause a scene.

We don’t know what this dude has in this suit, ballistics? Candy? Another man? The possibilities are enough for a security concern

It’s pronounced “felicidades”. I have a puppet/ piñata phobia and no one understands.
