The conversation with Dick doesn't need to be complicated. Tell him you have some differing opinions that it's best to get out of the way early. Explain that in a situation where someone proves to be an irredeemable and active threat to innocent life, your decision would be to nullify that threat by killing the individual rather than risking imprisonment and escape. Let him know that you've discussed it before, maintain your view due to previous experience, understand that it isn't a majority stance and don't see the merit in continuing to discuss a hypothetical. Provide him with any specifics he asks for, but if he pushes you to debate it with him you can politely decline to continue the conversation.
It's the same as last time. Listen to what he's saying and acknowledge it without feeling the need to contest it. He can't fight you if you're not throwing punches, you just may have to take a few hits.
