You can only take so much abuse before you strike back. Officer Lewis was wrong to act out but it was certainly understandable. After 37 years of service, Officer Lewis deserves to retire and enjoy the rewards of his service. As for Mr. Henderson, he got what he deserved and it's too bad his dirt rubbed off on a good cop.
The punishment should fit the crime, so to speak. To handle shooting a plastic BB the same as shooting a metal BB, a handgun or even a slingshot with a ball bearing makes no sense.
My question isn't why the test came back positive, my question is why was the test done at all? The police are not allowed to search you or your property without just cause or a warrant. Why then is the hospital allowed to invade your privacy without just cause? If there is no reason to suspect drug abuse then how are they allowed to "routinely" check people for drugs?

Poppy seeds can indeed cause a false positive for opiates. Those who think it doesn't pass the BS test need to educate themselves before commenting.
