When responding to aggression, the response should not significantly escalate the risk. So lethal force should only be applied in scenarios where there is a lethal threat, etc.
You’re not required to risk your life for someone that’s victimizing you. You didn’t create the situation and your responsibility is to defend yourself and your loved ones.
Nobody else has mentioned proportionality.

Perceived lethal threat
Nope. That’s the logic cops use when shooting people in the back or kicking a guy in the head who’s lying on the ground.

Sure I’ll keep a knife on me and shank every cunt that walks near me as they might be a threat
Sounds totally fucking sane. No wonder this planets fucked when there’s people looking for an excuse to put someone six feet under.
You should chill a bit and not make wild assumptions.
Can you respond to me directly with what you find wrong with the idea, or present an actual situation you think I’d be okay with?
I’m talking about clear and obvious aggression. If someone pulls a knife, you’re allowed to defend yourself. You don’t have to wait to get stabbed.
And I would recommend a firearm for defense, but that’s on you. I carry a knife so I can kill myself if I feel like it.
But that’s all you have in the moment. There is nothing else.

Spot the American.
Somehow the civilizations of every other western country don’t have this mentality, and magically their police kill less people.
Weird how having a mindset of being under constant threat and that the populace is the enemy result in reactions of lethal force more often.
