Typical fucking pig, they all think they're above the law. I love when they go down for shit.I once had a discussion with the cop (he obviously was on peds, guy was in good shape)... At one point I was working in the police station for a little while (not as a cop) it was in regards to theit perimeter security system.
Somehow a discussion on steroids came up, and the cop was telling me how he believe steroids should be legal for police officers, in the end he basically did agree that steroid should be legal.
Cops are supposed to enforce the law. They don't write the laws. But it did strike me odd the elitism that he initially showed, explaining that it should be legal for just cops.

Not to mention tanks and tear gas and various other weaponry.The argument that these idiots often use is that they need physical strength to be able to confront criminals. I thought that technology such as pistols or tasers were at the disposal of the police forces to give sufficient advantage against criminals.
I hear you......I was stopped one night in a shady area and the next thing I knew I was surrounded by 4 tanks. They fired a warning shot over my hood and believe me, I got the message......lol I'm sure they had at least one Apache hovering over me aiming a Hellfire at me but no way to know for sure because of their stealth technology.Not to mention tanks and tear gas and various other weaponry.
Pusssssssssies
Coppers....the OG hypocrites.
I appreciate what you're saying, and it does seem hypocritical for police officers to be arresting normal citizens for possession of anabolic steroids when so many of them are breaking the law and using gear themselves. This is admitted in the article we are referencing:
"“Steroid use — or abuse, I should say — has been a dirty little secret in law enforcement for a long time” said Payne."
However, as others have noted, cops didn't write the laws. They are just enforcing the laws that grandstanding politicians wrote and signed into law. This applies to politicians on both the right and the left. After the baseball steroids scandal in 2003-2004, the changes to the Anabolic Steroid Control Act and the USSC guidelines that made the charges for steroid possession and distribution so much worse were crafted by Democrats like Joe Biden and Henry Waxman, and Republicans like John McCain. George W. Bush signed it into law and made busting steroid dealers a priority in his administration...remember Operation Raw Deal. The politicians are to blame for the current situation, not the cops.
I used to be an internet source, and I sold steroids for a living until I got busted and was sentenced to Federal Prison in 2008. A large and profitable part of my client base were cops, correctional officers, firefighters, EMT's, and the military. I have bought steroids from, and sold steroids to, plenty of cops, and I sent plenty of packages to US troops serving in Iraq and Afghanistan, along with plenty of normal citizens as well.
Through the gym and through selling steroids, I've known plenty of cops. There are certainly bad cops who love strutting around with a gun on their hip, arresting people, and I've had cops brag to me about the people they beat up. But there are plenty of good cops as well, normal guys who are just trying to do their job enforcing the laws that politicians wrote, just trying to make a living and go home to their families at night. I've been treated unfairly and fairly by cops. They are just people like anybody else, some of them do good things, and some of them do bad things.
And to anybody who believes in defunding the police, trust me, you don't really want that. I've been to jail and Federal Prison, and I've met and talked to truly evil people. You don't want those people running around with no cops to enforce the laws. You wouldn't be able to leave your family and home or business unguarded. It's nice to think about a perfect world where everybody gets along, and we don't need cops. But we are not living in that perfect world. We are living in the real world, and there are real monsters living here amongst us.
Cops fulfill a necessary function in our world. Some of them do their job well, and some don't. But then, there are good and bad doctors, dentists, carpenters, masons, electricians, plumbers, computer programmers, etc in the world as well.
Cops are just people like the rest of us, most of them no better and no worse than the rest of us. And if many of them are steroid users just like us, well, who amongst us can blame them?

One thing for sure, if other countries were doing it to gain an edge on the US then we would most probably do it too. A bit like competing in bodybuilding contests, you have to be competitive. I do think however that trench warfare is a thing of the past.It makes ya wonder if there was ever a time in the future that was similar to WW2 and the future of this country was in jeopardy, and we had troops fighting in trenches again, do you think the govt would start juicing them up? its obvious there would be a benefit to it and it would give them an edge.
Strongly disagree with the sentiment "cops are just like us" - no normal guy wants to beat the shit out of people for a living. Let's face it, cops are paid to beat the shit out of people.
They also have an astronomically higher rate of committing domestic abuse and suicide. No, they are not "just like us" and I resent the idea they bear any resemblance to me.
I dont see it being much different than racial prejudice.This here is the problem. When people start lumping an entire profession into one stereotype, it is very dangerous. The fact that you say they aren't "normal" or think that their goal is to "beat the shit out of people" is very disturbing. You clearly have a bias from some bad experiences and it maybe indicative of what you have personally seen, but hardly represents the country as a whole. When you look at the big picture, the majority of cops are just like you and me and not bad people. Don't let a few bad apples skew your perception.
