I don't think you're willfully misconstruing me, but you are nonetheless.

You're manufacturing slippery slope reductions of a concept and therefore dismissing the concept.

What should the goal of police departments of pet dogs killed by cops? Should they aim for 10,000? A million? Just a handful? A logical answer is "we want to avoid killing any pet dogs in the course of service" (also known as zero).

Now they could take absurd actions to avoid that (leaving the scene whenever a dog is present), or they could add that to standardized training so that they're better prepared to deal with that situation.

So without providing real-world examples of you concerns you are just offering up florid conjecture.
