For me but not for thee

A 41-year-old Los Angeles County sheriff’s deputy died in a methamphetamine overdose at a sheriff’s station in April, according to authorities. 

Jonathan Stewart died from the effects of methamphetamine April 27, the Los Angeles County medical examiner said is a report. The report labeled his death an accident.

It still amazes the hell out of me that police officers aren't required to take random drug tests. Truckers, yes. Cops, no.

  1. Meth contamination of surfaces is real. Not saying that it was a factor in this case but it definitely is possible.

    1. It takes a hell of a lot more than surface contamination of meth to overdose.

    1. Most medical examiners classify these deaths as accidents where there is no evidence to indicate that the person intended to kill themselves. Should really be classified as 2nd degree suicides. My office would classify Russian roulette cases as suicide because you have to have a death wish to play that game.

  3. Especially for Steroids.
    20% of the sheriffs deputies are jacked up on steroids around here to try and bulk up.

  8. A sergeant around here died last year at his desk after taking fentanyl and meth from the evidence locker and doing it right in his office.

  9. This is why unions are killing America. Union rules don't allow cops to be piss-tested. And the background search on most cop candidates is pathetic, and are harder for the non-sworn officer positions like... secretary.

    Fucking unions.
