Get Out (Horror film by Jordan Peele)

[Mister Six]

Ha, I edited that because it seemed a bit much.

I'm saying that the film makes it pretty clear that America is a racist country, and that the police are an integral part of that racism. Chris is very obviously scared of the cop and is used to complying with the police, and his white girlfriend picks up on the racial subtext and intervenes straight away. Every one of Chris's interactions is tinged with an awareness of his own race, the discomfort that he and 'Logan' feel in all-white environments is made plain throughout, and racism itself is explicitly discussed in several conversations.

If your parents haven't picked up on all that by the time the last two minutes roll, and can't figure out why Chris looks scared by the arrival of the cops, I don't think him being arrested or shot is going to illuminate anything. They'll just wonder why Chris suddenly got shot dead by the nice police man.

So with that in mind, no - a 'kill Chris' ending would be exactly the wrong move. The film wasn't make for people like your hypothetical parents. It was made for Americans, and presumably largely black Americans, all of whom will be aware of what it's trying to say even if they don't agree. Killing Chris doesn't say anything that the previous 90 minutes didn't already communicate, and it would leave an unpleasant taste in the mouth of most of the audience it's actually intended for.
