Michael Plans the Restaurant Hit, Explained:business, not personal
The room is arguing whether to hear Sollozzo out or go to war. Underneath, one man stops waiting. "Some place where there are people, so I feel safe" is not caution. It is how he gets a gun into a public meeting and close enough to kill.
あらすじ

What's really going on
On the surface this is a strategy meeting about whether to hear a proposition or go to war. One voice calls the shooting of the father business, not personal. Another warns that "Nobody has ever gunned down a New York police captain," so the family would be outcasts. The reply refuses more advice on how to patch things up and wants only help to win. The plan that follows is precise. The meeting has to be a bar or a restaurant, "some place where there are people, so I feel safe." That safety is a cover. He expects to be searched and cannot carry a weapon. If a gun is planted ahead of time, he will kill both men. The crowd is what makes the search ordinary and the planted gun possible. Waiting loses because, no matter what is promised, Pop still gets killed.

このシーンについての質問
Why does the plan insist on a bar or a restaurant?
A crowd is the stated reason he will feel safe. He also expects to be searched and cannot carry a weapon. A public room is where someone can plant a gun ahead of time, so he can still kill both men.
Why is shooting Captain McCluskey treated as a different risk?
Someone warns that nobody has ever gunned down a New York police captain. The other families would come after them, the Corleones would be outcasts, and the old man's political protection would run for cover.
Is "some place where there are people, so I feel safe" really about safety?
It is the condition he sets for the meeting. In the next lines he says they will search him, so he cannot have a weapon on him, and he asks for a gun planted there. The crowd makes that plan possible.
Why refuse to wait for Sollozzo's deal?
The case against waiting is the line itself: no matter what Sollozzo says, he is going to kill Pop, and that is the key for him. They have to get Sollozzo. Calling Bruno part of the deal does not change that.
What does the room already know about Bruno Tattaglia?
After the hospital, Sonny got mad, and Bruno Tattaglia was hit that morning. When the meeting is offered, Bruno is treated as part of the deal, a way to cancel out what they did to the father. That trade is rejected.
