Today a friend on a social network floated an interesting hypothesis when the topic of the recent spate of citizens dying while engaged with law enforcement officers came up. He suggested that there might be an underground practice of juicing among law enforcement officers (to gain a strength advantage on the job) and that what we're really seeing is occurrences of "roid rage".

  From the Men's Health article linked above: "Officer Jimmy sees the matter differently. Although he professes to feel conflicted about juicing--it is, after all, a felony to take anabolic steroids without a prescription--he thinks 'roids made him a better cop. "What law enforcement needs is a little testosterone," he says. "Every cop should do a cycle a year." Yeah, Jimmy. What could possibly go wrong with that idea?

This isn't new. I knew a couple of cops who used to attend an MMA gym. They were yoked and everyone in the gym figured they juiced. Things like the Rodney King beating are a lot more understandable when seen as Roid rage.
