Those test need to include steroids. Also after every use of force.

(17,376 posts)4. How many officers aren't charged because of "professional courtesy" and given a ride home?
Do these arrests mean that the culture has changed even a little? I'm not holding my breath.
Will there be retribution against the charging officers? Cops who get other cops in trouble often have career difficulties.
