I do not know where you are coming from but it can not be from the USA.

Actually, the song is still copyrighted in the US, so the police were ignoring an obvious violation of the law, maybe even participating in it.
From the scenarios that you are describing, I'm sure the police were also ignoring any local, state or federal laws on the use of unlicensed pyrotechnics in a public place.
