Dear New York City PD, thanks for nothing

It seems the New York City police have nothing better to do than hang out in Easton Pennsylvania. Hey guys, what's going on in Easton Pa you're so damned interested in? The new casino there? Were you all gambling and maybe tipping back a few cocktails while protecting the Five Boroughs? Were you dining at Emeril's new joint?

We're curious here because some members of NYC's finest were in Easton and were outside of a Phantom Fireworks there and watched two Jersey City residents buying *GASP* fireworks. So the NYC po-po actually tailed the guys back here to the Big JC and then when they got within city limits they called the Jersey City cops and tattled. The Jersey City blues then pulled the guys over, involved a bomb sniffing dog and charged the two with possession of fireworks.

Dear god NO. Not fireworks. Heavens, fireworks are fun and make people happy so of course you'd want to be 90 minutes away protecting the Big Appletini from fireworks. Hey, NYC police, thanks very little. Next time you feel you want to protect citizens from themselves, try staying across the Hudson, there's plenty to do over there.

What police jackassery, worrying about fireworks. Great use of taxpayer money. Thanks mommy.

Oh, and by the way, there is every chance Johnny is gonna bring back a big load of fireworks with him from vacation next week. Maybe you guys should start setting up out of jurisdiction roadblocks now.
