Police pulled girl over, made her put her hands on her head so a boy could ask her out on a date [View all]

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. -- An Indian teenager was trying to think of a creative way to ask his girlfriend to prom, so he called the cops.

The police officers pretended to to pull the girl over, and told her to stop, put her hands on her head, and turn around.

When she did, she saw her boyfriend holding a sign that read "Will you go to Prom?".

She said yes.

And we're supposed to think this is remotely cute or okay?
