LAPD did exactly this last week, too... at an LAPD sponsored movie night. [1] I didn't even invent this situation de novo.

I'm certainly not saying all police officers are bad actors - what I am saying is that there will always be bad actors. That is precisely why we have checks and balances for those with authority. It's pretty clear thanks to qualified immunity that some police in the US feel pretty, well, immune. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. That and ending qualified immunity.
