Deadly force and anabolic steroids

Many individuals believe that “roid rage” or uncontrolled aggressive manner is a normal adverse reaction which occurs in consumers of steroids. Furthermore, several individuals claim that it is even impossible to prevent this negative consequence, if you apply steroids. Nonetheless, it is not proven scientifically that it is a real side effect of anabolic steroids. But even if we suppose that it exists, it may occur only in small number of steroid users.
Since a lot of people think that “roid rage” is a side consequence of anabolic steroids, many ill-informed legislative suggestions were made. Certain such proposals have been made in Oregon. It has been proposed to introduce some new laws. According to these new laws, if any police officers have been involved in deadly force, or if police force resulted in some injuries, they must be tested for steroids.
The politician Lew Frederick has made the same proposal in Oregon House of Representatives. Those police officials that have been involved in 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 who apply deadly force will be tested for steroids. Can intake of steroids prove that application of deadly force was unjustified? Is it believed that steroids because of aggressiveness may make police officers unable to make right decisions?
Investigation team is a good idea for police officers that use deadly force. But administration of steroids should not be taken in consideration here. Positives or negatives for steroids can’t define whether deadly force has been used appropriately or not. It doesn’t matter a police officer has applied steroids, aspirin or just consumed juice.
Thus, it is possible to conclude that legislators turn to be captivated by hysteria linked with “roid rage” of anabolic steroids. It goes without saying that illegal intake of steroids by police officials has to be a legitimate concern. But it is not said about uncontrolled aggressive manner as a chief reason in this case. The problem is that illegal intake of controlled substances by police officials makes them vulnerable to corruption and the black market of steroids. They are inclined to compromise.
