In that area of San Diego, there are two types of officers: THe Quick and the Dead. If you are not the first, you will be the second. Information not in news: This guy sat out in his car, taking on liquid courage. By his history, he was probably going to confront and shoot the "estranged " wife. That shooting was hundreds of miles from San Diego, if I am not mistaken, and the officer would more than likely been out of uniform.
As far as confronting the guys wife, that's total speculation, not part of the story.

big question? Did the suspect know he was a cop when woke up? Based on personal experience--they know you are a uniformed officer, but they are used to you not doing anything. But, that only applies to people without weapons.

All his shootings sound justified. It just seems strange that he killed this many people. Evidently he can shoot.Shot the perp dead the first time and that is one scumbag you won't have to shoot again at some later date.

The reason most cops don't shoot this many people over 20 years is a surprising number of cops can't shoot worth a darn.
Apparently this guy practices gun control and can hit what he's aiming at under pressure.
Better take his gun though and give him a new one. All those notches on the handle and its liable to break off next time he draws it.

When veteran San Diego police Officer Phillip Bozarth was in Stockton neighborhood = East San Diego http://www.mapquest.com/maps/map.adp?searchtype=address&country=US&addtohistory=&searchtab=home&address=3000+Island+Ave&city=San+Diego&state=CA&zipcode=

Bozarth's most recent fatal shooting involved a man he found asleep in the driver's seat of a car parked on Island Avenue in Stockton, in front of his estranged wife's house, about 4 a.m. June 25. It says Island Av in Stockton. Maybe your right. If so, the article is misleading.
But I think the question remains, if he is on duty, in uniform, what is he doing at his estranged wife's house?
To: radar101
It says he was visiting. Again, if he was visiting, he no doubt was not in uniform.

He was visiting his estranged wife. I would bet he was not in uniform.
I am surprised the article failed to state this, as it would seem to be the most important question.

Again, the big, unknown question here is was the LEO in uniform?

These are not random events.

The occurences of dangerous situations do have random elements. Is the officer on duty? Is the officer already on a call or in court? Just the same, you are right that it deserves extra scrutiny.

FYI...There are different areas within the city of San Diego that have different names. Stockton, City Heights, Webster, Encanto, Scripps Ranch, the list goes on. But they're all part of the city of San Diego.

And what exactly is your point?
The cop is doing his job, that's all.

This is a little misleading, but really doesn't matter.
In any event, the only question in my mind, was the LEO in uniform. I would bet he wasn't.

Here's the answer. apparently he doesn't spend his time at the local donut shop. Looks like he might just be out there protecting some libs sorry A**.

"Unable to see the suspect's right hand, which was concealed behind his right leg, the officer fired several more rounds at the suspect," the release said. " He was pronounced dead 15 minutes later. A handgun was found on the car seat, police later said.

To be clear I am not saying he is wrong. It certainly sounds like he is a good cop given the rest of his record. I just think this chould be treated like a doctor with an unusually high death rate. It needs to be looked at. Things cease to be random when you have a man making decisions.
Again to be clear I am not saying he did anything wrong - it just begs for investigation.
