Bradley, A Canidate For the Sword of Love?
Dina:
Reluctant? Harry saved his life and, more important, his daughter's life (also, other kids and the daycare lady). And Murphy, who was working with Harry, gave her life for it. I think Bradley would be very grateful and help in all what he can.
TrueMonk:
So Harry has the eye of Hate/love and the sword of love and he is pretty much fuelled by love (of his daughter) and to some degree of the rest of humanity. I think he will pick both up at some point and it will be epic.

What we know about Bradley is that he's a good fighter, he's in Internal Affairs rather than being a beat cop or SI, he's got a young child who had to stay at a night nursery while he was on shift, which means he may be a single dad, and he's already seen a bit of the supernatural and wanted to walk away.
I could easily see him thanking Harry softly and convincingly, and then just as quickly telling him he'll do nothing that might leave his kid an orphan.
Maybe angelic daycare at the Carpenters might change that, but seeing Michael be retired and crippled, and seeing Butters and Sanya working and crippled, and he's likely to say a respectful but firm No.

But if he understands there are worse things that could threaten his child than just becoming an orphan, he might. No one can say that Michael doesn't love his family, the last thing he wanted was to leave Charity a widow and his kids fatherless. Yet, Michael carried that Sword into battle time after time, because he loved his family.

Yes, but just because there's evil, and someone knows there's evil, doesn't mean they're going to drop everything and potentially sacrifice their life and the security of their family to do something about it.
How many times has Casa de Carpenter been attacked now? The bad guys have shown up there, what, at least six books? What are the odds Michael won't tell him, if he asks, that his own daughter was dragged out of the house by monsters? That the panic room wasn't invaded in this last attempt? That his youngest child was only barely spared from becoming a host to a fallen angel in the front yard?
I wouldn't blame the guy if he transferred out of Chicago after all of that. I certainly wouldn't blame him for not wanting to risk it all again and again.
