Daiwon McPherson got in with the Atlanta Police Department to propose to his girlfriend. Alot of people are outraged by the proposal due to the fact that McPherson used police brutality as a tactic to set the engagement up. A lot of Twitter users felt that he had gone too far due to the nature of the set up.
One Twitter user says,
Black men and women are getting shot everyday and you make a mockery of police brutality to propose? Really? I’m sick.
Another user felt differently saying,
The point wasn’t to mock police brutality. It was suppose to be a proposal with police.It has been done. I guess people cant unite w/ police
