Plans for a Hillary Clinton victory next Tuesday include fireworks over the Hudson River. That plan apparently has some in the FDNY and NYPD a little upset, according to The New York Post.

The FDNY memo ordering its Marine 1 company to provide stand-by protection for the fireworks show was sent out Friday — the same day FBI Director James Comey alerted Congress that agents would check to see if the new emails contained any classified information.
Cops and firefighters were blown away by Clinton’s hubris in planning the fireworks display, which would eclipse the shower of blazing sparkles that preceded the balloon drop at July’s Democratic National Convention.
“It’s a little presumptuous of her to plan on winning. I guess she put in for this before Friday,” one NYPD detective said.
A retired firefighter said the FDNY’ s “rank and file is outraged they are being forced to do political work.”
“This will make it seem like the firefighters endorsed Hillary,” the source said.
