Know the rules for a safe time with fireworks.

  1. Don't be any other color then white.
  2. Don't make loud noises.
  3. Don't go anywhere cops could be.

Follow these rules and you will have a fun time.

So basically, don't have a fun time, and don't be not white?

Shotspotter is a scam. I thought we cancelled the contract?

It was wasn't going to be renewed, but then the mayor extended through to the DNC.
