“Stopping fireworks cannot turn into fireworks between the police and the community,” Adams said on June 21. “We want a good community response to dealing with a nuisance. … This is a nonviolent act. So those three numbers that we all dial, 911, get over that.”

Yeah, firing projectiles at people is not a non-violent act. In addition, you have no idea how these ...youths...are going to react, nor their parents. Finally, as a private citizen, you have neither the authority nor the responsibility to police anyone. That is what cops are paid to do.
