The New York Police Department isn't known for its tact in the community policing area. You may recall words such as "41 shots" and the more than uncomfortable scatological combo: broken broom handle and sodomy - associated with the NYPD and the harsher side of its policing methods.
But this story from the New York Post is disconcerting and hilarious all at the same time. Some of the NYPD's finest are juicing it up.
The investigation into steroid use by cops who allegedly bought the juice from a ring linked to major-league baseball players has reached a top NYPD commander, sources said yesterday.
Records seized in a raid of a Brooklyn pharmacy revealed that deputy chief Michael Marino, 49, commander of Brooklyn North Patrol, bought a topical steroid cream there, the sources said.
If a NYPD cop goes "roid-raging" around New York City, do you think Internal Affairs will put an asterisk next to the investigation?
PS: In an outstanding display of dogged journalism, the Post found this more than embarrassing photo of Marino masquerading as his favorite fertile superhero. Enjoy.
