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.
