I personally think the world would be a way better place if everyone smoked a joint every once in awhile. Including and especially those with power and influence.

Cops can drink, can they not?

Off duty why not? Much less destructive than booze and the steroids/coke cops usually do.

A state trooper lives across the street from my mom. He's a really good dude and a hard worker, he was on special teams or whatever it's called.

One night he got drunk and plowed his car into a bunch of parked cars near a bar then left the scene.

He got into all kinds of trouble, was off the job for one or two years. Now he's back on the job, albeit reassigned.

Why not?

 

[ghost_of_lewis_samuels]

were cops not using weed in the past? how is this a new question

 

[enframed]

If it's legal, they can do what they want, just like everybody else. We should worry about their T Levels though. Cops need high T levels.

Steroids aren't bad.

The poison is in the dose.

You could say the same thing about coke come to think of it.

Proper Training with a degree in LE would be nice

Is roid rage a thing, based on anecdotal evidence I say yes. But have not researched the issue much

Along with drug testing and accountability, a pipedream I know.

Seems like late 80s/early 90s after school special hysteria to me, unless they are really overdoing it.

Training is expensive.

The excessive use of force could be curbed but it would cost $$$$$.

In America, the State is the enemy of the people.

For the far left, it's the cops.

For the far right, it's the teachers.

Though the left hates teachers too.

Sure beats the current state of affairs.

The cops I knew growing up all smoked. We had two friends of ours whose father was a local cop. He always had a good stash in his nightstand we used to pinch from.

So he was the "nice cop" who let them off with a warning

That, and they are of the aggressive personality type to begin with. They were probably always the guys who picked start fights at parties, bars, school, etc. The training and juice simply inflated their ego and sense of power that much more.
