Police officers from Oregon that use deadly force will be tested for steroids

Many persons suppose that “roid rage” or uncontrolled aggressive behavior is a normal undesirable consequence that occurs in those that administrate steroids. Furthermore, several persons claim that it is even impossible to prevent this negative symptom, if you administrate steroids. Nonetheless, it is not proven scientifically that it is a real undesirable reaction of anabolic steroids. But even if we suppose that it exists, it may appear just in small number of steroid users.
Since a lot of persons think that “roid rage” is an adverse consequence of anabolic steroids, numerous ill-informed legislative suggestions were made. Some such proposals have been made in Oregon. It has been proposed to introduce certain new laws. According to these new laws, if any police officials have been involved in deadly force, or if police force resulted in severe injuries, they have to be tested for steroids.
The same proposal was made by the politician Lew Frederick in Oregon House of Representatives. Those police officers who have used deadly force will be investigated, tested for some drugs and their mental health will be evaluated as well.
In fact, it is unclear why police officials that use deadly force will be tested for steroids. Can intake of steroids prove that use of deadly force was unjustified? Is it confirmed that steroids because of aggressiveness can make police officers unable to make reasonable decisions?
Investigation team is a reasonable idea for police officials who apply deadly force. But usage of steroids is not to be taken in consideration here. Positives or negatives for steroids can’t determine whether deadly force has been applied appropriately or not. It doesn’t matter a police official has applied steroids, aspirin or just consumed juice.
Thus, it is possible to make a conclusion that legislators turn to be captivated by hysteria connected with “roid rage” of anabolic steroids. It goes without saying that illegal intake of steroids by police officers has to be a legitimate concern. But it is not spoken about uncontrolled aggressiveness as a principal reason in this situation. The problem is that illegal intake of controlled substances by police officers makes them vulnerable to corruption and the steroid black market. Such police officers may compromise.
