i had many comments like t his one

You hit the nail on the head with your mention of testosterone. 

There is a real issue with testosterone these days.  It's pushed by the media & medical community as a means for "a man to stay youthful". 

For 14 yrs I worked for an Optometrist.  I met several men who worked for the local (Charlotte, NC) police dept and their families, when they came in for their annual eye exams.  I observed several of these gentlemen changing, as they matured over the years.  They reached a point in life where they needed to be stronger and more aggressive to do their jobs, like their younger colleagues . Testosterone seemed to be the answer.  (One of them actually told me that many of these men went to the same doctors who were recommended by the department.) 

Funny thing...they accomplished their goal.  However, these gentlemen had personality changes that were not good - short tempers, impatience, aggression, dominance, control.  Most of these men lost their easy going attitudes and compassion.  And, unfortunately, most of them lost their wives and children through divorce as a result.  

IMHO, the 5 - 8 in question, probably fit into this category. Their behavior was out of control violence and aggression.  I pray they are held accountable for their actions. I pray for the victims family.  And I pray someone realizes testosterone is creating a problem for these men in law enforcement

and i agree---and wonder about the  testesterone given to beef cattle ....
