This is infuriating! Like all the others in this thread, I find it really sad to see all the LEOs on here saying they aren't comfortable eating out in restaurants or even going grocery shopping. You guys should know that there are still those of us who teach our kids that you guys are heroes who help people every single day, and that you're the "good guys" who we can count on when we're in trouble... except when seconds count :)

Every time I see a police officer in the community, I thank them for what they do to keep my community safe. I want them to know how much the other good guys appreciate them, bottom line.

I can't get behind all the talk of drug testing & random drug testing, though. Many drugs have a short half-life that greatly decreases their likelihood of detection, thereby adding unnecessary expense to the employer.

I'm not a drug user, but I took plenty of random tests while in the military, and now will not work anywhere that seeks to invade my privacy as a matter of course. For my employees, my policy is simple: come to work intoxicated, you get fired immediately, and I'll mail you your final check. Zero problems, because we hire responsible adults who are of good character.
