The washing machine was marching on the street. It had weapons because it was an agitator.

One of the many differences between UK and US cops:
UK Cops: “We’ve removed this dangerous firearm from the streets! Which wasn’t operational, and even if it was, good luck getting powder and projectiles for it.”
US Cops: “Come enter our raffle to win an assault rifle! Proceeds of the raffle go to the children’s gun club! Also, don’t act ‘suspiciously’ or we’ll have to shoot you - after all, you might be carrying a gun.”

If the gentleman had pointed that at an armed response unit they would have shot him. And the public wouldn’t know it was non-functional.
