    I like to give credit where it's due. Although most police officers in the City of Philadelphia…read morehave a lot to be desired, I had a recent encounter with one of Philly's Finest. I was in line to make a turn from Winter Street in Chinatown onto 11th traveling north. Traffic was jammed, and when I finally caught a chance to turn, I probably followed the car in front of me without a proper full stop. Then I crossed Vine St Expressway as quickly as possible. I police car that was sitting on the side immediately followed me and with lights on. I pulled over and Officer Wang came to my window. I already had my license, insurance and registration in hand. He was MORE than courteous and explained to me what he witnessed. He could have given me a substantial ticket, which really would have ruined my day and cost me a fortune, but he was KIND enough to let me go with a strong verbal warning. He wished me a good day and left. If every police officer acted like this towards the public, we'd all be living in a much, much better place. Kudos to Officer Wang from the 6th District. Professional, courteous and kind.

    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.
