The employment of actual, armed police officers has sparked harsh criticism and raised concerns about the abuse of law enforcement in entertainment situations, despite this apparent connection to a fake production. The police spokesperson came to the conclusion that once the inquiry reveals how and why the officers participated in the situation, disciplinary action will be taken where required..
