    The courts very much factor in if someone is acting in the moment or if they cognitively chose to do something. That’s like a huge thing. End of the day if someone can’t stop themselves from ground and pounding an unconscious person to death, than they are also a problem. The inability to control yourself or a violent situation are risk factors for anyone who doesn’t train martial arts.

        I mean sounds to me like you’re conflating your experience with cops to how judges interpret the law; which is simply not true.

        It’s not a matter of clashing opinions.
