Burge allegedly kicked inthe door of an apartment and stole the TV. The TV was owned by man who lived with another officer, Gregory Donofrio. Donofrio has been on paid leave since last month for allowing two men to settle their differences with their fists.

The department is "instigating" several of its officers for illegal steroid use? I could understand if they were investigating their officers, but I don't know why they would be encouraging it. Why does the story jump around? Start with steroids and end with steroids (without saying much) and the middle write about a theft. This is all around poor writing. Don't take this into a courtroom, rookie.

Bad for all of us.
