Vancouver riot kissing couple: story behind the crazy kiss

Now for those people who've seen this picture for the first time, you might think that it's a spoof.  Well, it's not.  It happened in real life during a riot in Vancouver Games 7.  Alex Thomas, was knocked down to the ground by a police, and boyfriend, Scott Jones rushed in to her rescue, and both did the unthinkable: they kissed as police were marching down the road.  Their first interview after the event, they told everyone that "it was the best thing to do".  

Ok. So I understand that it was a crazy move considering the tension that was there: police marching with guns/batons on hand, angry people screaming, perhaps throwing some stones and what not.  But has anyone seen an action flick that has the star of the film and his chick kissing while explosions and bullets flying all over the place? Well I did, a lot of times.  But I just couldn't believe that it could actually happen in real life.  I think it was a cool move though.  She probably saw him as her night in shining armor, and thought that he was such a stud that he came to her rescue.  Well he is a stud to start of with, but on that instance I think he was just oozing with studness, that giving him a kiss was a no-brainer.  That's something I would personally do if given a chance.  I definitely think that it was one of the highlights in their relationship.
