NEWS POST: Officer Involved Shooting

On Tuesday, June 16th, 2026, at approximately 7:35 pm, an officer from the York City Police Department responded to an address in the 300 block of W. Philadelphia St for a disorderly subject.

I just saw this incident. The short version is a City Officer was on a disorderly conduct call (someone was pistol whipped) and while on the property he was attacked. The Officer shot one dog after being bitten. The owner was also wounded in the leg while trying unsuccessfully control the dogs. The Officer gave first aid to the owner and called for EMS. The State Police are now investigating the shooting.

The story probably wouldnt have gone beyond the Crime Watch article; but the local Karens are in an up roar with stuff about how the Officer was trigger happy and he should have used pepper spray and the dog was just barking and and and. Zero consideration that the Officer was actually bitten OR that a VIOLENT crime had been reported at that location

I wasnt there so Im only making a few guesses but these are the facts being reported. FIRST it was in an "unpleasant" section of town. Second there were TWO dogs both German Sheppard types that broke through the porch enclosure to attack the Officer . Third The Officer was bitten at least 3 times.

I do know Pepper Spray isnt always effective on dogs. I also KNOW that once the Attack/Bite starts the time for less lethal is long past.

Obviously, they should have sent out a crisis control officer to try and talk the dog down ....

To be fair the shooting would be investigated no matter what, and it would depend on department policy. I know a couple depts around me that do not authorize chemical agents.

Yep. The PSP investigation is normal. I dont have a problem with that. Its the Karens that bother me, not one of them has a clue. They couldnt make it through the PD Academy, let alone one shift in a patrol car; but they all have an opinion. I wish theyd spend more time worrying about their husband's dinner

When did the KAREN thing start? Certainly it was before COVID because they were in full force by then. I once had a Male Karen chase me around a Walmart (yeah my mistake for being in Walmart) because I wasnt wearing a mask. Clearly its a social media thing as they all have their soapbox to screeeeech from. It was bad enuf' when they got on the Home Owners Board and decide to "police" the neighborhood grass length.

"opinions are like butt holes, everyone has one, and it usually stinks"

Send that Karen to the Dog Pound so she can visit relatives in their natural habitat.

An unlimited supply of box wine and copious amounts of intravenous Secobarbital would solve the problem.

Cue the Coroner!

DOJ just released aim interesting and shockingly high numbers on LE bs Fog incidents.

A local LEO shot a dog (on camera of course) and was getting hate e mail and calls from PETA and everythjng else. I will say the video was bad and he sort of out himself there.

It’s also a great rwason why Ic can be your friend as there’s no good way to shoot a dog in most circumstances, yes sometimes it is necessary not saying it isn’t but not everythjng is a raging pit bull on a murder mission.

Here’s the FB Link and for those that don’t get FB pics of the DOJ report

Also disclaimer I am just sharing what DOJ said I am not arguing with anyone just sharing for informational purposes

Vet Radio Syndicate

The Department of Justice has the number of dogs police officers shoot a year at 10,000 dogs. That is roughly 25 to 30 dogs a day that police officers shoot. In the last 50 years according to DOJ...

Here's an idea... CONTROL YOUR DOG!

Thanks for your attention to this matter.

Yep youre not wrong but Id ask exactly which dog you are willing to let bite you? Especially one that you dont know its history OR medical status.

I see this as just like the owners kid busting out of the house with a gun. and shouting "Im gonna kill you cop" F Him, DRT on the sidewalk, Im not waiting for him to shoot. In THIS case the dogs actually bit the Officer
