All they'll see is a man with a bow and arrow enter some house.
Nick has mostly entered people's houses with the victims' permission if not always and he always came as a cop first and Grimm second. Most of the people who witnessed Nick dealing some Grimm justice on wesen were 9/10 victims of those wesen or they were related to those wesen committing whatever crimes that put them on Nick's radar. Considering the secrecy surrounding wesen, humans aren't going to shout to the rooftops that they saw Nick killing an animal like beings lest they be called crazy or worse institutionalized and wesen will most likely want to put as much distance between themselves and a grimm, even one that's helping them.
Another thing to remember is Nick performed his Grimm duties largely at night, so visibility is compromised especially when the fantastical is involved. During the day, he acted and behaved more like a cop, investigating and at night he went after those wesen as both to either arrest/stop before they harmed anyone else. I remember reading somewhere why Portland was the chosen city for Grimm, the forests/parks allowed for certain activities to fly under the radar of the general populations.
Those who know of Nick's activities outside his duties as a cop accommodate him because they see his actions as helping to make Portland safe, hence he's never been ratted out in the twenty six years of grimming. Renard had evidence he could have used against Nick but Nick and Hank apparently stole it away from him during the events of 6x03.
Nick is only one of two active Grimms in Portland vs hundreds of wesen in the same city. Whatever likelihood there is of catching Nick on camera means catching the wesen on camera as well (they aren't always successful in hiding their woged visage) and that may garner way more attention to an ignorant public than a man holding some form of weapon in a city known for wild animal attacks.
