Roid-a-cops and police brutality on a bad judgment call
By the Toxic Reverend

that has been asking,"Who's a criminal" ?
people.tribe.net/toxicreverend

We as tax payers put out a lot of cash to train a policeman.
They join the force, wanting to do good,help people and try to
make a difference in a very screwed up world.

Some times, I have to wonder what changes ? How do some
of them become "bad apples" and give their entire profession a
bad name ?

For a few years, I have been doing research on the effects of
the "low dose cumulative effects of toxic chemicals" with violence
and abusive behavior.

Law enforcement is not excempt from such toxic chemical
exposures. But they do maintain a harder "front" than most
classes of society, with the "I am fine" presentation. Their
ego's are just that way, or they probably would not be in that
profession. Think about it. They risk their lives on a daily basis
to "uphold the law". They are heroes. And as such, they are
not to prone to saying, they have a problem, of any kind.

While I was researching this issue, I became acquainted
with Mesha. . Her son had been shot 48 times by 9 San Francisco
policeman. She started The IDRISS STELLEY FOUNDATION
with the money from the wrongful death suit of her sons murder.

Mesha was very kind and patient the times that I have called.
But the other day, she got me. She admitted that yes, the toxic
chemicals could also impact a policeman's decision to use
deadly force. But then she asked what I thought might happen
when a "Toxic Victim" (as I call "mentally ill") that is acting out,
meets up with a policeman on steroids ?

Mesha agreed that everything that I was on about can apply
to such a situation as an unjustified police shooting. But she
also thought that steroid abuse by law enforcement is inducing
some "bad judgment calls", more than anything else. And that
these factors are being protected by the " Blue Wall of Silence".

So being an open minded hippy, after talking to Mesha, I did
a couple of Google searches on the subject.

The results astounded me. The Google search terms were
"police steroid abuse" and "police steroid abuse testing".

I thought I would find masses of articles about the police busting
people for it. But nooooo, I find massive articles about police
forces around the country being busted.

Si I tried posting "Roid-a-cops and police brutality" at
myspace. It would not post. So I sent it to a number of
friends at myspace. They could not get it to post. Though
Ken said a couple of days later that he was able to post it.
Seems there is a tracking program at myspace for censorship.
This report has finally posted at Myspace bulletin's and my blog.
After some serious complaining is rather public ways, across the
Internet.

Anyway, I became rather frustrated and called Mesha. What
I had decided to do was spread a "true rumor" that did seem
to get "their attention". And not just Mysapce's.

I called the Sonoma County sheriff and a captain answered
the phone. He said that the sheriff was unavailable. So I told
the captain that I had done a Google search that shows police
departments around the country were being busted by the feds
for steroid abuse.

I told him the search terms and I could sense the panic
in his voice. I told him that the searches reveal Boston police
being busted by a federal grand jury investigation. Dallas also
came up with the search and too many others to list.

Now I only went over the first ten results of the first search term
and twenty of the second. When I got to the one about president
Bush talking about steroid abuse in a State of the Union address,
I stopped. After all, Bush was talking about steroid abuse in
sports. Maybe he should have been a bit more specific and
included law enforcement. You know .... the people that enforce
the laws against such things as drug abuse.

Not that I want to snitch out the feds and risk screwing up any
investigation that they might have. I am not aware of Sonoma
County being investigated for steroid abuse. Maybe it isn't. Maybe
it is ? All I know is that I do not want to be charged with
"obstruction of justice", for bringing this to their attention.
After all, more often than not, "no good deed goes unpunished".

What I can point out is what other police departments that
have ignored the abuse of steroids like an ostrich, have found.

While they are so bent over with their heads in the sand,
the feds sneak up and give them an exam that nobody likes.
Regardless of sexual orientation.

As the prior mentioned search reveals, it was a Federal Grand
Jury investigation that busted the Boston police department for
steroid abuse.

Maybe if all of the San Francisco MUNI bus drivers that have
to pee in a bottle for random drug screening became aware of this.
They might be able to break the censorship and warn others of
the impeding steroid exams .... or a, the investigations that have
busted so many police departments around the country ?

One of my psychologists had told me that "the good and the
bad news it that I am not paranoid or delusional".

Now please excuse me .... I need to get back to editing
"Toxic Revelations" and my Myspace profile / blog. It is
my intention to post this at my blog. If I can ......

Blessings,
