They need to be drug tested. Especially for ‘roids.

In a just country, there would be MANDITORY drug and alcohol testing of any officer involved in a lethal encounter with the public.

A locomotive engineer or bus driver shouldn't have stricter rules than a cop!

‘In a just country, there would be MANDITORY drug and alcohol testing of any officer involved in a lethal encounter with the public.’

That is the perfect way to frame this argument.

Sent off or administered by...?

Yancy, a veteran who suffered from PTSD...

Cops sharing databases with the VA? Scratch another veteran off that waiting list!

Why do we wait until someone dies? LEO’s carry lethal force every day, and exercise authority in ways that can easily intimidate even the most law-abiding. They should be tested daily, with zero tolerance. One and done.

COLD

Commonsense Oversight for Law Enforcement Drug Use

Every state should have a COLD group getting ballot initiatives organized:

"Any sworn officer involved in a lethal force incident must submit to a blood and urinalysis drug test within 24 hours."

Obviously, lawyered-up to be legal-languaged, but it would be a joy to watch law enforcement try to explain why they SHOULDN'T be drug-tested immediately after killing someone.

After all, if they have nothing to hide, why refuse? Right? Play their own damn game.
