A nice, salacious tale: bad cops, kinky sex, cruel behavior, and the magic ingredient---drugs. It's interesting, isn't it, that somehow, a preponderance of nutjob cops are working or have worked in narcotics or vice. Do normal cops with their head screwed on properly avoid working the sin beats like the plague?

Bump!

Do normal cops with their head screwed on properly avoid working the sin beats like the plague? From everything I have ever heard, the answer is definitely "Yes".
Secondly, did you catch this:
She said her husband, a 16-year trooper and former department spokesman, had grown depressed over the past three years and was on anti-depressants.
The guy was on anti-depressants. Why should anyone who needs to take mind-altering drugs be allowed to be a cop?
White, who last year was assigned to the department's narcotics inspections unit, also tested positive for marijuana, records show.
Wonder if he ever "did drugs" before he had access to the evidence room and free drugs?

NO KIDDING. Nice---I'm going to get busted for grass by a cop hopped up on Zoloft? A cop so unbalanced he can't get through 24 hours without a fix?

Sure, drugs are a road to nowhere, but blaming the drugs for this type human behavior is incorrect. This behavior is rooted. Drugs only enhance it.
Just keeping things in perspective...

The scary thing is that given how stressful the job of being a cop is(and I surely wouldn't deny its stressful), there is no telling how many cops may be on anti-depressants. That combined with adrenaline could explain some of the crazy behavior.

In one department I know of, there was a longstanding policy of allowing only 2 years on sin beats (vice, narcotics) for that very reason.

It does seem to corrupt most everyone who has to put up with that crap, day in and day out. I'm someone who doesn't know a lot of cops. Is working narcotics a coveted position in police work?

A very sad tale. Depression, no doubt brought on by use of cocaine, drove this once good guy into the abyss. I fell sorry for him, his wife, but especially for the two innocent little girls. Lord have mercy on us all.

Depression, no doubt brought on by use of cocainePerhaps the cocaine was a wrongheaded attempt to self-medicate a pre-existing depression.

Depression, no doubt brought on by use of cocaine, drove this once good guy into the abyss. Actually, re-read the story. He had been doing cocain for a couple of months, but had been suffering from depresion for years. He had been with the narcotics unit for a year. Add one and one and you come to the conclusion he was doing cocain to combat the depression.

His department will have undoubtably have an investigation to see if any drug evidence has turned up missing or come up short on weight.
If so, then that evidence has been tampered with and the cases might get dissmised.
