Potential harm can definitely be actual harm. Some folks use intimidation to control others behavior. Intimidation can be seen as potential harm, but if people are intimidated into changing their behavior because of fear of violence, them that is actual harm.
I'm thinking of the January 6 2017 riot at the Capitol. The vice president could very well have caved to those chanting "hang Mike Pence" out of fear.

Still, if all it takes is fear, woulnd't it almost automatically remove all responsibility from the person claiming this? I am not sure this is a valid excuse for government officials with 24/7 protection and multiple agencies looking after their well-being.
