Cops Using Steroids: Is it really a Big Problem?

Cops Using Steroids: Is it really a Big Problem?
by Justin Edwards

The recent New Jersey Police Department steroid debacle has brought the question to the front of the table and placed a top the list of steroid users a new breed of offenders. DEA spokesman Lawrence Payne told AOL News just this week that performance enhancing drug use among our blue suits was something “we shouldn’t ignore” and the mess needs to be cleaned up.

Several stories broke in recent months connecting police brutality to steroid use; the “Claim” simply being, the aggressive brute force used was directly caused by the officer(s) use of PED’s. For example, the case of Travis Lamont of the Orlando boys in blue; during Lamont’s “service to the community” he tackled an 84 year old man, breaking the frail old man’s neck; it was discovered that officer Lamont was in-fact using steroids at the time and boom, there’s the culprit. Then there’s the case of Tony Macik of the South Bend Police Department; Macik served a 300 day prison term for distributing AAS and assaulting a co-worker of his wife; it was Macik’s personal steroid use that was blamed for the assault. There are several different instances of brute force and assault used at the most inappropriate of times and in these steroids was deemed the evil spawn of the behavior.

So where lies the truth in all of this? Is it the steroids, are the officers in question overstepping the line because of steroid use or could it be possible these officers in question were merely jackasses to begin with? Being as there are millions of Americans who use steroids and PED’s every day and none of them come close to even kicking a dog, I’m leaning towards an emphatic “YES” these Asphalt Cowboys in question were pricks long before the first needle pricked their skin; unfortunately, the badge seems to bring this out in some.

Explanation:

California State University Dept. of Criminal Justice chairman Larry Gaines has stated the increase in steroid use among officers is getting worse because of the increased and strict manner in which the five-O is expected to perform. Really Larry, is that your answer? I’ve traveled all over this country and sure, there are many officers in great physical shape but I’m sorry, many still thrive on an IV of police food and have an addiction to the badge of doughnut honor far more than anything else.

Let’s look at the core issue. Using PED’s without a prescription is against the law; a law many of us have broken including yours truly. For police officers, they are entrusted with enforcing and protecting where the law requires; to arrest and harass those who are doing the same thing you are is not only hypocritical it’s downright evil.

The bottom line is simple; like many of you, the boys in blue have more and more begin to realize the positive benefits of PED use; sounds simplistic doesn’t it? Sure, it does but sometimes we make things a lot more complicated than they really are. If there was ever a group of people who had an opportunity to re-open the door of the PED argument in terms of the law itself this would be the time and these would be the people.

Unfortunately, most will likely hide behind the curtain of fear and discontent but imagine if a group of men who are entrusted in enforcing the law stood up and said “This law is wrong.” Will that ever happen? Probably not; if the PED laws are to ever change a different avenue will have to present itself but let’s be honest, for those that understand the truth about PED’s if there was ever a group of people who should be allowed to use them would it not be those protecting us?

Just pray that a cop with roid rage doesn't pull you over.

Hypocrisy at its best right there. Sadly the same cops using likely would have no issue with busting anyone for the same crimes. Typical above the law attitudes seen by law enforcement all over the world.

100% agreed. I know this has is a bodybuilding forum, but same thing goes for marijuana. Same cops using it love to bust everyday citizens with it. And does the marijuana really go into the evidence locker? Doubt it.

This x 100.

I have serious contempt for the type of person that would arrest me for possession of illegal substances while they themselves use illegal substances.

**EOD** · 01-02-2011, 01:35 PM

Any cops on this forum? Just curious...

**Prince** · 01-02-2011, 01:36 PM

**EOD** · 01-02-2011, 01:36 PM

Juicing cops not trynna bust ppl cops...

**Cal0777** · 01-02-2011, 01:43 PM

I know myself from past associates of certain areas that aren't condoned in the eyes of the law, out of personal experience rarely is it that all the proceeds, be it cash, drugs, or even just jewelry make it the evidence locker. Now this is just an example from 1 jurisdiction, and I've long since moved on from there to better things in life, however i seriously doubt that anything has really changed there, or that it is different anywhere else. Also I have no interest in involving myself on any level ever again that would give me enough insight to find any of this out either. As far as I'm concerned every law enforcement unit out there is corrupt to a certain level!!!

He's a piece of shit. That happened nearby and the old man did nothing. All he did was touch the cops shoulder/chest. I mean, yeah thats not the wisest thing to do. But totaly uncalled for to cripple the old guy.

Orlando police are fucking cocksuckers. This little asian prick pulls me in my charger. has me standing outside the car in my gym attire, freezing. He wouldnt let me stay in the car as he ran my infos. No belt on, speeding, insurance info not present. he racked up. Then they have the nerve to pat me down. Sorry fuckers, all my contraband is in the trunk.

Good luck with finding someone saying "I'm a cop!" I think they would want to keep a low profile.

**Cal0777** · 01-02-2011, 02:01 PM

I'm sure they would, and I would hope they'd lead the pact by trying to enforce a little bit of dignity by turning their heads the other way when dealing with people who are merely at the low end of the scale of this "so called problem of AAS" only deemed a problem by the governments of the world for votes, and other perks. I'm quite sure.

There are cops on this board, and they are very open about their profession. I also won't name them, but I wouldn't worry about it.

Personally, because I really respect cops and everything they do to protect our communities and homes, even if I nearly lost my lisence twice for speeding violations.. F**k yes they should be able to use them. Steroids better protect them (they're stronger), and if they see a low life scumbag, they can probably pick them up, body slam them, then cuff em'.

That's cool s**t right there.

**BigBird** · 01-03-2011, 07:59 AM

I respect the job cops do but there are some laws that I am embarrassed of. I am embarassed that pot is illegal (and I don't even smoke it). I am also embarassed that adults are not able to take PEDS. However; there are cops in my town/city that are juiced beyond the obvious. They know who they are and we all know they know. It's kind of amusing to see them strut the boardwalk in the summertime with nearly one inch diameter veins protruding from their biceps and forearms. Meanwhile, the buttons on their uniform shirts are about to burst.
