According to Oakland PD, they issued zero citations for illegal fireworks city-wide on the 4th of July, but did make other arrests for serious crimes.
Like clockwork, as soon it was dark enough, the skies above Oakland lit up in bursts of red, white and blue on the Fourth of July.Leaving behind a trail of trash from illegal fireworks all over the city.In some parts, even spread out over major roadways like 35th and Foothill.
"Oh, it looked messy this morning, cars were just trying to avoid not going over the dirt that was left from yesterday," Harold Zuniga, an assistant to Councilmember Gallo said. "I have never seen that much trash like I have seen this morning." Stacked up with a thousand emails complaining about the illegal fireworks, Gallo sent out members of his own staff Wednesday morning to help pick up the pieces in the Fruitvale district, filling up at least ten truckloads worth of debris.
"This year we did make it very known to the public that we would be enforcing the law but I live down the street, I didn't see any response, whether it was the fire department or the police department," he said.
