This video is not about politics. It’s not an immigration debate.
And it’s not about whether you like or hate law enforcement.
It’s about one uncomfortable question that keeps getting buried:
Was this self-defense?
When you strip away the outrage, the slogans, and the ideology, self-defense comes down to actions—not intent, not emotion, and not hindsight.
In this video, I break down:
Why interfering with a lawful arrest matters legally
How panic and adrenaline affect human behavior
Why intent does not control self-defense analysis
What a reasonable person would perceive in a split-second, high-risk situation
And why self-defense often exists in the space just before catastrophe
This isn’t a perfect scenario.
It’s not clean.
And it’s not something to celebrate.
A woman lost her life — and that matters.
But tragedy does not automatically equal injustice.
Sometimes tragedy is what happens when fear, panic, and bad decisions collide in seconds — and pretending otherwise doesn’t make us compassionate, it makes us dishonest about how violence and human behavior actually work.
This is the hard conversation.
Not the easy one.
The honest one.
