Hypothetically, there’s no immediate option to escape a person who has attacked you and is intent on causing you further harm. Do you think you would be able to fight back and create an opportunity to escape? Do you have a plan for if things go sideways and you end up on the ground with them raining blows down upon you? Can you fight to survive until your last breath?
Not if the person attacking me out of nowhere is an American cop. Lose lose in every situation.
Absolutely. That’s a tough situation. It would be hard to prove you were justified in self-defence if you even made it out in one piece. It’s better to comply unless you’re absolutely sure you’re about to be murdered.
