They could have run that same test at like 5-10 mph and accomplished the same thing without possibly causing an accident.

This entirely feels like a manufactured scenario since they simply did not act like a informed driver, and decided to freak out.

Are you stating that they did not have FSD on and simply faked it for the views?
I'm insinuating they they knew they were approaching an intersection that they knew FSD had trouble with, purposefully did not slow down the cruise control to attempt a safe approach, and purposefully did not tap the brakes even when it was obvious the car was not stopping or slowing down in a safe manner, and then reacted on camera insinuating it was entirely surprising to them.

If none of this is true, than they are incredibly shitty drivers that were not paying attention to what was happening and let the car cruise through a red light. The exact same scenario would have occurred with a standard 1990 era cruise control system.

I agree with your first paragraph. They tested the red light issue after experiencing it to make sure it was not a fluke. Their yelling was unnecessary.
Well duh they're shitty drivers with no respect for a public road, they bought Tesla "full self driving" """beta""" and are testing it against unwilling other drivers!

"They're a bad person so this must be fake", or maybe they're a bad person which is exactly why they thought doing something like this is okay
