I saw this mentioned in another forum, but it does ring true. If this was EMS, we'd call the officer a "crap magnet", meaning that somehow, someway, many of the bad things in the world seem to be attracted to him, personally. That's why I asked the question, regardless of whether all of the shoots were perfectly good and not merely "good shoots" as cleared by the department, would you want to partner with him in a two-man car. I'm not sure I would - just because it seems like he's more likely (for whatever reason) to get involved in a shooting incident. i hope, and believe, it's still the case that the majority of folks don't become poh-leece because they'll get to shoot people.

If you're a LEO or family or friends to one, you often will hear, with a point of pride sometimes, that "I've never had to shoot someone in my career", or words to a similar effect. Hearing the story of this Scottsdale police officer, who has had to shoot someone on average every two years of his 12-year career.... I'm not sure whether he's just unlucky, cursed, lucky, or a bit aggressive with his use-of-force, or what.

So, would you want to partner up with him in a two-man car?
