This may or may not be related, but I bet if you forced police to take steroid tests (which are seldom ever screened for in standard urine analysis tests), I bet a surprising percentage would fail.

And, it's only a hypothesis, but I wager that "roid rage" accounts for at least some of the police brutality claims that are seen from time to time.

Not unlike what would result if you compelled any public sector employee to take an IQ test...

Interesting hypothesis! I would be interested in seeing it tested but would not hold my breath until it is, for all sorts of reasons.

I don’t know about steroids, but if you forced police to take a lie detector test after giving sworn testimony, nine out of ten would fail. Too many police officers get into law enforcement for the power and control, lacking the character to resist corrupting influences. It’s a psychological steroid. ...I bet all of the cops in that little fracas are members of paramilitary squads. They were letting the paramedic know his place in the pecking order.

Shhhh, we are only supposed to be worried about athletes who abuse steroids, not people who are paid by taxpayers and who’s actions result in damages are also paid by taxpayers.

They abuse caffine as well (throwing no-doze in coffee).

And around here, they no longer eliminate a candidate for the force just because he has prior convictions for illegal drug use.
