New York City’s largest cop union is suing Police Commissioner Edward Caban and Mayor Adams for implementing a new “zero tolerance” policy on NYPD officers using steroids or other performance-enhancing drugs, the Daily News has learned.
In a lawsuit filed in Manhattan Supreme Court on Friday, lawyers for the Police Benevolent Association alleged the previously undisclosed policy flies in the face of a legal agreement the union entered into with the city in 2011.
The 2011 contract prohibited officers from ingesting or possessing any anabolic steroid or other forms of human growth hormones without a medical prescription. However, the old standard didn’t require officers to run any such prescription by their NYPD district surgeon before starting to use it.
The new protocol — which was enacted on Dec. 26, 2023, and described in an internal memo reviewed by The News as a “zero tolerance drug policy” — beefs up the old rule by affirming that officers must “immediately notify their district surgeon” of any steroid prescription they receive and provide “all supporting medical documentation” to the surgeon backing up the need for the drug.
As a pilot can’t use many meds so should a cop not use substances with side effects of aggression.
Yeah! Whoever heard of a zero tolerance policy for drug use?
Oh right…
On one hand, I can think of good reasons not to disclose HRT or any other personal medical information to your employer, ‘district surgeon’ or not.
On the other hand, ACAB, get fukt.
i can’t imagine there’s a big overlap between transsexuals and police, friend.
HRT is utilized by a wide variety of people, it has more than one application.
That’s cool, cops mad because they want to be able to pump themselves full of illegal drugs known to cause increased aggression and paranoid delusions without facing any consequences. I mean, when has a cop ever faced consequences, so it must be truly mystifying to them that they’re being told to
stop taking drugstone down their rampant drug use.How dare they try and tell the Tiny Testicle Tazer Team Task Force not to juice anymore!
You know what drug would really improve police performance?
Marijuana.
If all cops ate seven grams of magic mushies I think the world would be a much better place for everyone who has to deal with cops
That high of a dose would cause such uncomfortable introspection that very few (if any) cops would want to continue being a cop after that.
So yeah, I guess what I’m saying is that I agree with you. Much better for everybody.
Wait. So the cop mayor finally does one thing right with his out of control police force, and is immediately sued by a bunch of roided up angry cops?
Checks out.
but cops NEED to use illegal drugs so they can be better than you
I once was making a left turn in a busy city road. As there was a break in the crowd, I made my turn, and out of the crowd, on the sidewalk, zipping down the opposite direction of the crowd comes a cyclist out on nowhere, and almost smashed into me. Of course the cyclist was at fault for being on the sidewalk and going against traffic, but in a cyclist city, those idiots are always blameless.
Anyways, a roided up cop on a bike chases my car down and punches it, leaving a dent on it. I pull over and he immediately draws his gun and starts shouting at me. He punches my car again and continues raging. Anyways, turns out the cyclist was the one who broke the law so the cop couldn’t cite me, so instead he gave me a ticket for an illegal left turn, even though the sign above said it was perfectly fine.
You pulled a hit and run and are complaining that you got a ticket and a dent?
almost smashed into me.
According to what they wrote, they did not.
He hit ME. and took off. I stopped.
You call it a hit and run when you’re not paying attention and smash into the side of someone else’s car?
Awww. They all swole up like a bitty baby
steroids can be good. Dont we want our cops more capable of doing their job?
