Block party crackdown, Fireworks pet safety, and international friendlies

Daily Detroit

Welcome to Monday... We've got some serious stuff, some vibes from a game we went to, and we're going to talk a little bit about dogs, pets, and fireworks because it is the season.

Before we get started, I wanted to tell you that our new Patreon-only Discord is open. This is for supporters only. You just have to join us at Patreon.com/dailydetroit. Already a lively community, people chiming in, having questions, it's absolutely great. Appreciate your support!

First up, a couple of serious things to talk about.

An Oakland County sheriff's deputy was shot in Detroit over the weekend in what is being described as an ambush. He was in plain clothes following a stolen vehicle in Detroit. It's a sad situation.

Next, the city of Detroit is cracking down on unauthorized block parties. There have already been a number of car shows where people get together without permits, and things sometimes get out of hand. This has caused tension within the city. While some residents enjoy these gatherings, others prioritize safety and family-friendly neighborhoods.

As the Ford Fireworks are tonight - and you can check them out on Channel 4 - or if you're going down, it should be a fun experience. And there will be fireworks across the region from now until July 4.

But fireworks can be stressful for our pets. As Fletcher works with dogs, and we can't really stop people from letting off big booms, we talk about a few tips to keep pets a bit calmer during this stressful time

And we end with some immaculate vibes from this weekend. Keyworth Stadium was electric for the Detroit City FC game against Pumas. The energy was incredible, with fans from around the country showing up. The game was intense, and even though Pumas lost, their fans kept cheering. It was a vibe we hadn't felt since before the pandemic, and makes us wonder about how long it makes sense to stay in the Open Cup vs. having international friendlies that can really pack the stands.
