Fetterman will let him out.

Sure, if he were found innocent. Maybe he would hire them.

But, we don't have a habit of putting innocent cops in jail in the Common Wealth.

I bet you’re someone who makes their voting decision based off of campaign commercials.

Oh man I just looked and it seems that hysterical “Dr. Oz: Hollywood Liberal” ad from the primaries where they tried to parody liberals has been scrubbed from YouTube. What a bummer! That one was my favorite. They did all of their best hits: airhead blond, clueless stoner bro, lady with hair dyed a bright and unnatural color. It was so unintentionally funny.

You could try doing an ounce of research before you just believe what you see in a political ad campaign. I’d say you probably actually think Dr. Oz killed puppies too, but I bet you conveniently don’t believe that one before even looking into it.

I was wondering for the last few years why so much gets spent on political ads until I was watching a football game with some neighbors and the commercial with the serious gravelly voiceover saying Fetterman wants to let all the murderers out of prison came on and one of the neighbors was like “Oh my god! Is that true?”

Then I understood it completely. They keep spending the money because it works.

Those are called "low information voters" or otherwise known as morons.

It’s taken me until this election to find out how effective those ads are. Anybody I know that is against Fetterman brings up the “he wants to let out murders!!” thing. First of all, good move Oz campaign. That’s been wildly effective.

I’ve explained it to a bunch of people at this point and it’s either they realize how they got dooped by a political attack ad, or they just keep making worse and worse excuses which leads me to believe they are just going to vote for the person their party was going to put up anyways.

The first time I saw the murders ad, I thought “that’s concerning. Let’s look more I to that.” Then when you actually look into it, it’s not what it sounds like at all. Apparently the 5 minutes of research is much more than what most people will do.

He did bank roll research I'm which puppies died though, right? Or was that disproven?

Like most of these things, it was a half truth. He was doing cardiac testing on dogs. He’s a heart doctor and at the time, animal testing on dogs was pretty standard. The medical community has since moved away from dogs for the most part, but what he was doing wasn’t out of the ordinary. I haven’t looked into it since the first time I looked into it so my numbers may not be perfect, but I think there were 3 dogs out of about 300 over a 15 or so year period that were in question for being mistreated. One of those three based on the investigation was treated humanly after having complications. The other two ended up staying alive for a few days after being paralyzed when they should have been euthanized. And Dr. Oz wasn’t the actual person doing any of these tests. He was just on the board I believe.

So was Dr. Oz involved in killing puppies? Yes. Was he maliciously killing and torturing puppies? No.

If you look at the experimental design for some of those studies, one of them involved opening up a dog's chest, attaching a pacemaker to the heart to simulate tachycardia, and then pumping various drugs into the dog to see if any slowed down the heart rate... which surprise surprise, none did because drugs don't stop a pacemaker. That one alone involved around 30 dogs. The experimental design was inherently flawed and it puzzles me how the proposal made it past the university's ethics board.

That’s a whole lot of words for “yeah he killed some dogs”

So glad to see the ads worked so well. We, as neighbors and Pennsylvanians are now so gullible, so divided and no longer show any respect for one anothers opinions. After having worked in the advertising industry I can say that the candidates got their money's worth and (listen carefully) there is NO truth in advertising. There should be disclaimers on ALL political advertising.

OK. So much for sarcasm. After ALL the negative ads that we've been bombarded with and in alignment with standard reddit responses I thought wrong. Looks like everybody has their panties in a bunch.

Yes letting police get away with anything is a Democrat issue.

He won't answer but I will.

Every single cop to my knowledge I met while in the Guard was either a republican or one or two libertarians.

To my knowledge I've never met a single liberal cop...

Same. I'm friends with several cops and while they have moderate views they're still registered republicans who consistently vote red.

This should be a hate cult investigation but it isn't. Cop unions are mobster outlets IMHO.
