Those are NOT soldiers sweeping the neighborhood for insurgents.

They are NOT pointing both lethal and semi-lethal weapons at an unarmed American citizen.

They are NOT trying to be deliberately provocative.

You might have to keep telling yourself this repeatedly in order to believe it in the face of what you actually see in this picture.
