then test firemen, garbagemen, public school teachers, and local/state politicians for the same substances. or are cops different?

and i don't know where you live, but if cops on steroids is such a huge deal, you might be lucky or you might want to move away. i'm not really sure.

you're probably right for #1. but stallworth gave them tons of cash and that made jail go away for him.

#2 and #3 are relatively normal dispositions. at least in my experiences.

Stallworth should have gotten at least a year. He gets no pass from me just because he is a Cleveland Brown.

Holy Crap

I can’t believe i haven’t seen this.
I hope this “officer” is afraid to leave his front door and ALWAYS looking over his shoulder.

I'm betting that's next. Hope she soaks him.

firemen going around beating people up while drunk and off-duty is a rather large problem around here. you might be onto something. but i think you’d find little more than booze.

“Exactly. Which is why “good” cops are rare, IMO. “

This is why no one respects police officers anymore. They break the law with impunity. They are just hired thugs.

I respect them, because they can kill me and get away with it on a thread-bare story no sane person would buy.

But I darn sure don’t TRUST them, at all.

so every drunk, stupid, over-reactive cop is now a juice head

Not every one, but the number of them suggests that chemical enhancement is occuring.

but we haven’t established that even one single cop in any of these stories was on steroids at the time. let’s deal with the real issues: booze, and short tempers. at least in these cases.
