Dog vs human?? Not the same situation AT all.
I for one haven't said what did or didn't happen on that bridge.... Might have thrown an idea or 2 out, but I haven't got a clue.
I'm the only one keeping an open mind though. Yes, even though one guy is in hospital. Even the most obvious scenes are pretty often not what you think.
Hypothetically.
If you witnessed one naked man literally eating the face of another naked man. The naked man growled at you when you politely asked him to stop eating the face of the other naked man. Would you wait till the first naked man was done eating to detain him?
Most American PD do not carry .22 hand guns. The standard here in AK is .40 S&W. A sane or sober person would not continue to dine on someones face after being hit center mast with such a round.
If I came across two naked men and one was eating the flesh of the other and I were carrying, which is legal here, I would shoot the cannibal and administer first aid until EMS could get to the scene.
I would not play a game of what if. If it acts zombieish, double tap to the head to be sure. I am dead serious. Zombies or someone on PCP are not to be trifled with. Im not saying Ive done PCP or LSD, but there is a feeling of unstoppable power.
Do you want to play a game of what if?
ETA: It was Puppydog who brought up the .22. I dont know what South African Police carry but the right .22 could possibly produce a through and through exit wound. A .223 from a police fired M16A2 could do the same, but I doubt the patrolman used anything but his side arm.
