On Tuesday April 14th, 2026, there was a troubled (or homeless) man at William McKinley elementary…read moreschool 2101 N Orkney St. who had a dog come into the garden of the school. He was told the dog couldn't be there so he began to curse and insult everyone, and they had to call the police. For about 20 minutes they tried to lure the dog (who appeared to be friendly) to their car. There were 3 police cars at the scene (There's a "Citizen" app video that was taken by me). They tried lassoing some sort of rope around his neck to use as a leash, but they failed. I'll soon be moving so I have several pet crates for my animals when I do. As I kept watching, I realized that ACCT Philly weren't going to be there soon enough, while the situation kept getting more and more tense by the minute. So I went to my home across the street, got the biggest cage I owned and brought it to the police to grab the dog. I'll be as honest as I can be, most people didn't think I was an innocent bystander, they assumed I had something to do with the guy. They acted like the cage somehow showed up out of nowhere, not even a "thank you". Yes you read that right. They didn't ask me if I wanted my cage back. Must've thought I have load of things to hand out. But the worse part about it is that the McKinley school principal was there, the vice-principal also and they DID NOT acknowledge me or thank me either. For these people, it was business as usual. This is what our world is coming to. I solved a situation for dozens of people whose work was halted for. I did it because if that dog had bitten someone, the first thing police will do is SHOOT. There were children in that school. Someone could've gotten hurt. I'm sure that the homeless man got helped, the dog was rescued and here I am without a cage now I need to buy a replacement. I feel like I was totally invisible and completely disacknowledged. I called the police 26th precinct and they had no knowledge of the incident. Guy tells me "I'm certain your cage wasn't used to get this dog". I was appalled!! I put the cage there and the police took it and the dog was led into it. Eventually the guy said "ok, well... it must be at ACCT Philly". I had to call animal control to see if my dog-cage is there. They left me on hold forever and I need to call again tomorrow I feel I was robbed of a dog cage that costs $80! This is what the police has come to.

The policeman ( I apologize as I did not catch his name as I was in distress) promptly came to my home get the report. The police department is doing a great job and even giving away free faraday bags to protect car keys to combat the national theft problem. I owe them food, drinks & more :). Crime is decreasing, and we are tackling the drug problem and addicts- most need some form of housing to get them off the street and like NYC we need clean up crews to clean the entire city and also need more garbage cans so people do not pollute. The mayor should address these issues and this will continue to keep Philadelphia in the rising real estate and city range.

And the apartment he was trying to break into had a young girl by herself home alone. They were completely incompetent and gaslighting saying, "what do you want us to do? He didn't break in?" Maybe get off your lazy ass and go talk to him! Not only were they completely dismissive but so was their Sergeant. We pay WAY too much in taxes to have such a shifty police department! We also have a tenant that was drunk driving and they let him pull into our building and let him off. What!?!?! Who does that! He could kill someone!!!! And then when a tenant was passed out and urinating in our laundry room, they came and took her word for it: "she messed up her meds." This woman clearly has a history of substance use and needs help! Not to be enabled, which they're too lazy to do their job, they let anyone off. It's going to take a major catastrophe or law suit for these idiots to get it together. They are terrible!

Man how I don't miss Havertown's finest, nor the meter checkers( Rent-a-Cop). Now I am not saying…read moreALL of them are shysters but they do have some out there looking to hit a said quota. That or they are just flat out lazy to do their job right. I had just gotten a ticket in the municipal lot located next to Hoopty's Pizza claiming I had an expired meter. Now first off there are no longer meters in this lot, along with a majority of lots in the Havertown area. What there is now is a kiosk located at every entry point where you pay there. The way this works is , in case you don't know, once you find an available spot there is a number associated to that spot. This is your spot you are paying for at the kiosk, after you pay they issue you a receipt with the allotted time you have. Final step is to place said receipt, (a proof of payment) on your dashboard in plain view. Step 1: check , my number is 46 Step 2: check, $.25 cents for a half hour. (checked in at 8:47 am, expires 9:17 am) Step 3: check , placed in plain view showing payment. Now I was pretty hot about this , I had to take pictures of this . Now the first is Evidence A, and second is Evidence B. Ladies and gentlemen of the jury, I give you - Evidence A: What we have here is a ticket issued to me showing a Parking Meter violation at 9:09 am. Evidence B: The lazy attendant that can't see, or read showing I was well in the time frame of legal parking. I presented this to Officer Hagan (Havertown's finest) to handle. He did , he also apologized for the lack of effort put forth by the meter attendant. I found some kind of pleasure in making him STOP what he was doing , get him out of his rhythm , just for someone else error. Solid 2, until they invade Wawa and hang out by the coffee stations.

I'm…read moreplanning on going overseas to teach and I needed to get my fingerprints done so that I can send them in to CJIS in order to get a criminal background check. The clown in this dept. told me that he couldn't do this, and that I had to go through a channeler cogent from the dept. of Education or that I had to go to a different police station that does finger prints for me. Little does he know- South korea does not accept criminal back ground checks from channelers. They will only accept a CBC from the FBI, (and only if they're apostilled ugh, the process is annoying!) and in order for me to get that, I had to get my fingerprints to get my official criminal background check. He said that since it's for a teaching position overseas he couldn't do it. Was this guy for real? He probably thought that I wanted to get my background check done there- (which I didn't because it's impossible and that's not the way it works-) but when I tried to explain to him the process, he didn't want to listen. He was condescending the whole time because he thought he was right. Normally I wouldn't tell someone how to do their job, but this guy did not know what he was doing and while I was on the phone with him, he had to ask someone else how to do his job. UGH! And to top it off- You'd think since we're paying for their services, that they'd learn some social skills. PS I went to the Havertown Police Dept. to inquire about the fingerprinting dept. and they were helpful. I also called the Ardmore police dept. to inquire about fingerprints (shopping around for the best price cuz it costs around 35 dollars to get finger prints) and I also had no issues. The only one I had a problem with was the Upper Darby Police station. Go figure.
