WEST HOMESTEAD, Pa. — The Allegheny County Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 91 announced its support for Dr. Mehmet Oz on Tuesday in Pennsylvania's U.S. Senate race.
Oz made an appearance at the lodge in West Homestead, and spoke on crime, including the recent shooting on Pittsburgh's North Side that left three people dead. The candidate said he spoke to Steelers fans on Sunday, who were tailgating.
Advertisement "Two of them we now know were innocent bystanders," he said of the shooting victims. "People weren't shocked. They were sad. They weren't shocked because it's happening too much."
Oz also received the endorsement of the Pennsylvania State Fraternal Order of Police. He and other speakers Tuesday spoke against his opponent, John Fetterman, who was once the mayor of nearby Braddock.
"I know he (Fetterman) says he was the law and order candidate, I have to disagree with that," said Vincent DiCenzo Jr., the president of the Allegheny County FOP and the retired police chief of North Versailles Township. "He was always good to show up for a photo opportunity, but as the crime was going on in Braddock, you did not see Mr. Fetterman."
Oz spoke about what he described as a "loss of cops."
"There's a dramatic increase in early retirements, of police just leaving the force," he said. "They're having trouble recruiting new officers."

Now both convicted murderers work for Fetterman, Philadelphia's crime is skyrocketing, and more criminals will be freed because Fetterman watched Shawshank Redemption. https://t.co/2mBX7144Ew— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) October 18, 2022
In every case for clemency (like Dennis + Lee Horton ) from Philadelphia @DA_LarryKrasner stepped up + supported us.
I’m returning that support + endorsing him + the truly groundbreaking work with the Conviction Integrity Unit, so his crucial CJ reforms can continue.#2ndChances https://t.co/sMMS9s4rBi pic.twitter.com/U5sGw7psKz— John Fetterman (@JohnFetterman) May 17, 2021

Pennsylvania Ping!
Please ping me with articles of interest.
FReepmail me to be added to the list.
FOP Lodges aren't supposed to make endorsements in statewide races but defer to the Pennsylvania FOP. There are no endorsements published on the PA web site at this time.
Grateful to receive the support of FOP Lodge 91 in Allegheny County this morning. Our law enforcement officers need a partner in D.C., and I will always stand with them. pic.twitter.com/cam82LB1Lg— Dr. Mehmet Oz (@DrOz) October 18, 2022
Oz is a damn site better than Fetterman.
He always hides his neck.
Three bottles of water.
Did they think Marco Rubio was coming?...
He hides it because he has a huge lump larger than your fist on the left rear part of his neck......
