[dropcap size=big]F[/dropcap]ireworks have been going off already thanks to the World Cup, and sure, you’re likely hear them go off randomly throughout the year anyway. But as we approach the Fourth of July, the Los Angeles Police Department wants to remind the city that using fireworks from homes in city limits is illegal and unsafe.

In a tweet late last month, the LAPD explain why Angelenos should “Leave [fireworks] to the pros and find a professional firework show near you."

On Monday, Mayor Eric Garcetti tweeted a video meant to show how powerful and dangerous even small fireworks can be. A reporter later re-tweeted the message with a note that secretly many locals can nod with in agreement.
