I was not sure whether to post this here or General Discussion so that as many of our police participants as possible are aware of this disturbing tactic. Moderators, please move this if you decide it is better placed elsewhere.

In the greater Pittsburgh area, multiple fires were started through improper use of fireworks, showing the need for such enforcement. Conversely, my neighbors did all the right things to safely and legally put on a display that would rival any professional display, and had no issues with the police or anyone else.
Your critically important but thankless job seems to be getting worse by the minute. Please be careful.
