Warren’s police commissioner defended his department’s decision to pursue a fleeing vehicle for nearly three minutes the day after Christmas, ending in the 24-year-old suspect’s death.
In this imaginative situation, and assuming I were (beyond any doubt) certain that the dog were the only thing, I’d probably kill the dog with the bat. That doesn’t mean it would be the right thing to do.
In reality however, I’d avoid making the choices to get into that situation in the first place (and there are a lot of other options).
Completely agree, I can’t hardly imagine a series of choices I would actually make that could lead me to such a situation. And it definitely wouldn’t be the right thing to do, just the subjectively imperative choice given circumstances. Just a what if, that naturally gets under the skin of many, especially (in my experience) those that equate animal life with human life, but that’s a different rabbit hole.
