This is what is taught where I trained. I do agree that it is always best to get out first, if at all possible. Great post! This is what is taught where I trained.

Suddenly you’re under attack! So you push him into traffic, and he gets killed. But what if you’ve misunderstood the situation and you’ve just killed a guy without a reason that will stand up in court?

I'm not sure how implementable they are. I think that a lot of us have a mental conditioning built in to avoid doing things that would result in prosecution or lawsuits. Suddenly you're under attack! So you push him into traffic, and he gets killed. But what if you've misunderstood the situation and you've just killed a guy without a reason that will stand up in court? This kind of conditioning is hard to overcome, because these situations involve making potentially life-changing decisions in a few seconds. But yes, if it's possible to quickly make the decision that one is in a true emergency, then it's important to switch off the rules that cease to be important. I like these ideas.
