The information posted isn't accurate. There were no more than about 50 people at the park, and most were simply enjoying themselves like everyone else. From what I observed, the fireworks appeared to be set off by an unidentified man near a group of young people, making it seem as though they were responsible. I was also disappointed to see what appeared to be a lifeguard repeatedly confronting and harassing the young crowd, which seemed to create more tension than necessary. It's sad to witness what felt like unequal treatment of Black people who were simply having a good time and minding their own business. I hope reports are based on verified facts rather than assumptions.
