Usage of steroids and deadly force

Many individuals suppose that “roid rage” or uncontrolled aggressive manner is a normal side effect that occurs in those that administrate steroids. Furthermore, certain people confirm that it is even impossible to prevent this unwanted consequence, if you use steroids. Nonetheless, it is not proven scientifically that it is a real negative effect of anabolic steroids. But even if we suggest that it exists, it can appear just in small number of steroid users.
Since a lot of people think that “roid rage” is an unwanted symptom of anabolic steroids, many ill-informed legislative suggestions were made. Certain such proposals have been made in Oregon. It has been proposed to introduce certain new laws. According to these new laws, if any police officers have used deadly force, or if police force resulted in certain 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 been involved in deadly force will be investigated, tested for several drugs and their mental health will be also evaluated.
In fact, it is unclear why police officials who apply deadly force will be tested for steroids. Can usage of steroids prove that application of deadly force was unjustified? Is it claimed that steroids because of aggressiveness can make police officers unable to make right decisions?
Investigation team is a proper idea for police officials 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 applied appropriately or not. It doesn’t matter a police officer has used steroids, aspirin or just consumed juice.
Thus, it is possible to make a conclusion 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 officers 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 administration of controlled substances by police officers makes them vulnerable to corruption and the black market of steroids. They are inclined to compromise.
