Know the rules for a safe time with fireworks.
Don't be any other color then white.
Don't make loud noises.
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?
These cops will blow random people away for no reason because they never face consequences. End qualified immunity
- Because an app told them to.
  
  Or an acorn falls on their car, or someone is holding a random object that they say resembles a gun.
ShotSpotter ಠ_ಠ America is so done lol
"The computer said it was okay to shoot them", the hot new excuse coming to a PD near you.
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.
Who did it better? Chicago PD or the IDF?
Fucking scared-ass weak pieces of shit that fire their gun immediately after hearing a firecracker...
You're telling me they had time to identify a threat and make sure there were no innocent bystanders they could be hitting? Well obviously from the story that is clearly no.
If you're so scared of people of color you fire your gun the second you hear a pop then you shouldn't be a fuckin cop.
Cops are honestly the most scared, weakest willed, fightened little fucking losers in the whole world.
