An Oregon legislator wants mental evaluations for police officers as little as “once a year” for one reason: Ferguson.
Democratic Representative Lew Frederick appeared at a Portland town hall meeting over the weekend to announce a series of bills inspired by the Missouri incident involving teenager Michael Brown and police officer Darren Wilson.
“I want to have a regular psychological evaluation of every law enforcement officer,” Frederick told the crowd, which responded with cheers.
He suggested a time range from once a year to once every two years.

Why shouldn’t ferals be given psych evals once a year? Think of the size of the bureaucracy that could be developed and the billions in “infrastructure” that could be spent?
I want mental evaluations for Democrats as little as “once a year” for one reason: OBAMA
If anybody needs a “psych eval” it these damn commie ‘RAT liberal politicians. Forget the “once a year” thing. They need to be evaluated daily. They’re all frickin’ loons.

Democratic Representative Lew Frederick just failed my test for sane politicians. He shouldn’t be allowed to handle government.
“Forget the “once a year” thing”
Once would be all that should be necessary
One Strike and Yer OUT!!
What’s wrong with psych evaluation of armed law enforcement personnel once a year? Seems it could identify root problems.
‘ferals’
Short for Amish...
If they are found mentally deficient enough to warrant their removal from the beat and or force, will they lose their 2nd amendment right?
Citizens aren't.

I agree. Given the outrageous police behavior one can see on so many videos these days it’d be nice to get the cops tested for rage problems and PTSD. It might not also be a bad idea to randomly test cops for illegal steroid use the same as we do for baseball players.
And I think all elected officials should be tested the same
They should also give psych exams to lawyers, legislators, judges, and CPS workers and managers.
I’d support that, too.
Yes, police officers can have problems just like anybody. But since mental evaluation for Ferguson wasn’t an issue, I suspect that this legislator thinks that his call for police psych evals, an attempt to demonize police imo, is a way to win votes.
Mental evaluations, eh?
You first, Lew.
