I agree it's counterintuitive to walk out without talking to them. In a normal interaction that would look suspicious and rude. That's why it's good to think about what you would and should do in rare and fraught situations before you encounter them so that you aren't just reacting on intuition or on autopilot if you do. I think the advice of walk out and don't talk to law enforcement unless you must and then not without your lawyer is good advice even if it may be hard or uncomfortable to execute.
