I trust that the police took proper precautions, probably used unloaded weapons.

I used the words "police killing" intending to refer to someone in the crowd unwittingly shooting the police to protect the "detainee" that they knew was innocent.
A similar scene could have been contrived without the use of deadly weapons.
The police often stop people to give them food, good citizen awards & turkeys without ever drawing a deadly weapon.
They should have spent 5 more seconds to come up with a reasonable method of accomplishing the same result of a surprise proposal without brandishing deadly weapons.

Make no mistake. I am pro-gun & pro-cc with proper training. This set-up scene does not follow proper training requirements, especially for the officers.

This is the end of my rationale for declaring it "irrational", & I still have 192 characters to go, I'll have to work on that.

Don, neither you nor I know how the police prepared for this. I trust that they knew what they're doing.

Not my tax dollars, I don't live there. But I'd be proud and supportive of my local PD if they were to engage in something similar.

The fiancé loved it. He apparently knew she would. Given that, 👍.

It was all approved by the PD.

Then I love it!

Yeah, I thought it was creative. His motivation was well intended too. He wanted to try to smooth relations between blacks and police.
