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

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
