I wonder if there is a specific mental defect/problem that makes some folks more susceptible to hysterical ODs.

Take a guy and tell him the world is out to get him and everyone he interacts with could potentially pull out a gun and murder him at anytime, tell him that the country is full of drugs that will kill you if you even look at them funny, and they are the only hope mankind has to defend itself from all of this. Reinforce this at every opportunity.

Steep these men in fear long enough and they will develop anxiety which since they are the strong men who fear nothing, and their society has almost zero mental health and seeking mental help makes you look week and or crazy they will treat said anxiety with alcohol, keep it up long enough and you might end up with a bunch of violent unhinged people running around with little shields and guns. Screaming incoherently at innocent people.

But what do I know im a mently ill man living in America.

Wait until you consider that the rampant increase in unprovoked police violence might be attributed to the conjunctive increase in steroid use over the same 2003-23 period. But what do I know I’m just a guy confuses correlation and causation. That and cops seem really CrossFit jacked and angry nowadays. Personally I think there’s a connection. But I’m just some guy on the internet.

I believe the mental defect is “officer who has an upcoming drug test they know they’re going to fail” syndrome.

They’ve got a perfect excuse to pop hot now.

Maybe it’s just “excited delirium” that black folks get when the cops attempt to arrest them and they unexpectedly die with baton bruises and chokehold marks on their necks. It could be spreading to the larger population /s

Maybe they'll keep this up until they can claim anything that looks like drugs as a deadly weapon so they can skip the foreplay.
