("Dispute over cop drug tests," Feb. 11) So how does he justify the RIDE campaign? Is this not the same random testing of citizens? Police officers wield great power. I, for one, would like to know that a drug-enforcement cop is being tested once in a while, given that drugs are part of his environment and very attractive. To reach back into the adage file: "Sleep with dogs, get up with fleas." Or how about: "From whom much is given, much will be required."
