Loretta Claiborne recalled growing up by the Parkway projects and watching as the police would sweep through the neighborhood with the dogs, threatening people. “My mom always told me if you see a police officer with a dog, don’t pet that dog,” said Claiborne, now a world-renowned Special Olympian.
When members of the Black community protested the use of police dogs, then-Mayor John Snyder who, according to one observer, governed “as if the 20th Century had never taken place” responded by increasing the number of dogs employed by police to menace the community.
The use of the dogs was among the many factors that led to violence in the streets of York in summers of 1968 and 1969. The police K-9 Corps was disbanded in 1973.

New York money management firm GPB Capital Holdingsâ chief David Gentile was indicted for allegedly taking part in a Ponzi-like scheme that defrauded thousands of investors across the country and that regulators say may have put more than $US1.7 billion ($2.2 billion) at risk.
Gentile and two other executives are accused of using the funds to cover shortfalls and enrich themselves instead of securing returns for their customers. Some 17,000 investors were affected, about 4000 of them seniors, according to a related complaint by the US Securities and Exchange Commission.
