Worst Proposal Ever?

A guy in Alabama almost gave his girlfriend a heart attack when he attempted a creative proposal. Shawna Blackmon found her BF Daiwon McPherson surrounded by police officers pointing guns at him at a gas station and thought they were going to shoot him. But as he was kneeling on the ground, he instead pulled out a box with an engagement ring from his pocket. The cops were, of course, in on the joke and used tasers, not real guns, for the scene. The video has gone viral and been both praised and criticized, as many think a police brutality themed proposal in times like these may seem a little…off?
