I'm increasingly seeing buffed, bulked-up cops who clearly appear to be users of anabolic steroids. Perhaps this is contributing to the situation.
I hadn't thought of that. When I said my buddy was full of testosterone, I meant he liked acting macho. Although he did use a lot of drugs during high school, he passed out a lot in my car from drugs. But cleaned up before becoming a cop. During the time he was a patrolman in the worst areas of SF, he got assigned a female partner. That pissed him off, because he felt she wasn't contributing enough in handling lawbreakers, indirectly led to him wanting to be solo by becoming a motorcycle cop, which he enjoyed (except for a bad accident to recover from).
