Ogle started pushing Hays County, last year, for a similar policy change. The shooting in Kyle, even though it’s not known if steroid use was a factor, emphasizes the need for a new testing policy, according to Ogle. "It's about accountability. That will give some understanding as to how the effects of steroids are, outweighed by what the justifications have been recently, which includes being able to keep the upper hand in aggressive encounters with suspects," said Ogle.Family and friends are demanding the release of body cam and surveillance video after Joshua Wright was shot and killed by a corrections officer.
Adding steroids to police drug testing is getting some push back. Defense attorney Travis Williamson spoke to FOX 7 about his doubts.
