police trivia #2: something that hasn't been remarked upon much is how widespread (legal) steroid doping happens on police forces around the US. in Texas, the co-pay for a testosterone injection at the "Low T center" was $20 for a UT-Arlington employee; $0 for a Fort Worth cop
granted, insurance won't pay for doping past a "high normal" level, but you'd be amazed at how many cops were sitting in that waiting room at all hours of the clinic's operation. it was fascinating.
there have also been a number of large and small scandals involving police selling or at least serving as middlemen for the sale of steroids, particularly in the NY/NJ. one of the most prominent "steroid informants" (and salesmen) of the past decade had a brother on the NYPD
again, this is presented without criticism. i don't oppose PED usage. but it's interesting, if unsurprising, that this population (which also regulates various narcotics and illegal uses of prescription pharma) has considerable entanglement with the steroid world
insecurity about "strength," fears of "vulnerability" or "losing it," etc. are all commonly cited reasons for even legal testosterone use (which can crater fertility odds). someone jokingly said that reducing their testosterone levels might limit their hasty reactions
that said, there's other research showing that smaller, more vulnerable people are more likely to use a higher degree of weapon-based force to subdue potential threats, so who can really say? either way, some cops like testosterone and their insurance usually covers it
