The danger is real when mixing drugs and guys carrying guns. By not investigating and cleaning out this problem it damages the reputation of all cops. Covering up for your fellow officer is a form of corruption like it or not. Drug test 'em, it's that simple. I have to test my employees both pre-employment and random. If our police want to be trusted then they should be calling for testing on themselves.
