21. I was married to a cop and hung around them for a few years.

There was also a private gym near where I lived that was owned by a cop and lots of his customers were LEOs.. It got closed down for sale of steroids.

I assume it is common, from my experience drug use by cops is the same as the general population.

I have been around those that use them and familiar with roid rage. Watch phone cam shots of cop brutality, it's pretty obvious to me. Plus they and their unions fight against drug test for a reason.

Be happy to see an experiment using one of the more violent departments, like Chicago or LA try it and then look at the data.

Why would they oppose it?
