Assuming he's a "good guy" he may just be unlucky or the area he served in is a Zoo.

Better to be judged by 12 than carried by 6.
Maybe... I wonder what the departmental norm, or average is for number of civilians killed (excluding Peters' record). If he is indeed serving in a "zoo", that would be reflected in other officers having similar kills. If he is merely "unlucky", that's some pretty bad goddamn luck.

That's kind of where I'm at.

I would think seven kills would be a highly unusual number in any department, regardless of how tough the neighborhood may be. I wonder how many cops amass that kind of record in a lengthy career, much less by the time they are his age. I would be very surprised if it were more than just a few. As such, I believe Peters represents an outlier, an anomaly. A deadly one at that. Too bad only police investigate each others' shootings...
