The statement 'For all the mortar fireworks deniers out there' appears to be a sarcastic remark aimed at those who downplay or deny the use of mortar fireworks in public disturbances. The tone is dismissive and possibly mocking, suggesting a lack of empathy or understanding for differing viewpoints. The context involves a discussion on public safety and law enforcement, which are significant public issues.

   I will engage in constructive criticism and dialogue with those in disagreement and will not engage in personal attacks or ad hominem arguments.
