I applaud the actions of the biker. That was cool.
Because anyone on the scene that *wasn't* in on it, might have reacted "incorrectly." Maybe they might have produced "real" firearms and started shooting. That, or it could have been misinterpreted by the MSM as "BLM" fodder, etc.

So please explain to me how "anyone" as you put it could've acted incorrectly? When it is a set up between both parties, I find it really hard to see how "someone" might react incorrectly. Maybe if a second unit showed up on scene, then it's possible.

Who do you mean "they"? The cops or the bikers? Again it was staged, the cops had unloaded tasers.

I guess there's the remote possibility that the biker could've staged the whole thing to ambush the cops, but that was not the case, thank God.

Where there other ways this man could've proposed, why sure, but I see it as a young black man taking his wedding proposal to another level and involving the police to show that the 2 communities CAN work together for a greater good.

It's ok to for us to agree to disagree I how we view this siuation. You have your opinion and I have mine.

Good day.

There were also a lot of bystanders... other patrons of the gas station, people in the shop, etc. etc. I doubt they were *all* "in on it." If any of them thought it was the "real deal," bad things could have happened. They could have "interfered" with the stop and started a huge powder keg, etc. etc. etc.

The Bystanders.... the ones not in on it. See above.

I would think the cops would have vetted the scene ahead of time. They wouldn't be able to clear all the bystanders out, though.

It could certainly be seen that way. But given the recent issues, etc between LE and BLM and the general tension between the two general communities, I think anything depicting a black citizen being stopped by police, even for the intended purpose, is not the best "visual" to be out in the MSM. It's a JDLR.
