And you thought gender reveal stunts were peak idiocy.

Video: Shotgun wedding: Armed police force ‘on-the-run’ biker to kneel… so he’s in the perfect position to ask his girlfriend to MARRY him in an elaborate stunt
Daiwon Mcpherson organized an unconventional proposal with the Mobile Police Department by popping the question at gunpoint to his girlfriend Shawna Blackmon.


EDIT - Watching in full screen, looks like tasers are drawn. But still.

Well that deescalated quickly.

Looks like muh dude rides a CBR1000RR so this kind of behavior is to be expected. You don’t see the Gixxer or R1 riders pulling this kind of miscreant behavior. Big Grin

What could go wrong? Eek

If this is a trend, I expect it to end badly pretty quickly.

Were there real LEOs involved? If so, and if I were the one in charge of that police department, I think there would be some replacement troops on the job, and right soon.

In this day and age? All it would take is for someone to not have been in on this or some do-gooder passing by for this to go horrifically wrong and end up with dead people.

Aren't tasers anything but black? Those look like firearms.

My issued X26P is black. They come in both yellow and black.

ETA: Finally got the video to play. Those are tasers. You can also clearly see the male officer's sidearm still in his holster on his right hip.

Guys this happened a few years ago. I thought it looked familiar.

Link to the article & more information

With the current situation yeah this video looks mental but keep in mind this video is years old. This happened in Mobile Alabama in 2016.

From the article:
Mobile Police spokesman Terrence Perkins said the officers were holding unloaded stun guns and all other on-duty officers were told about the fake call before it went out.

Friend Tyler Colvin posted a video of the unorthodox marriage proposal on Facebook, where it quickly went viral.

He said that Mr McPherson had 'created and fed' his girlfriend a story throughout the day, so she would believe him when he said they were on the run.

'I was scared,' Miss Blackmon told WPMI-TV. 'I said he was going to jail, they are going to shoot him.’

I don't care if this happened 50 years ago, its still idiotic and could lead to people getting shot.
