Don't request from ATC in a situation like that. Demand.
Then if you don't get what you need to fly safely, DO IT ANYWAYS, calculated, safely, and with good situational awareness. ATC is not in the airplane, they're comfortable in their chair.
It's time for this mentality of ATC always knows best to disappear from aviation.
Saddened heart goes out to victims and family.
