I don't volunteer to be in situations that I know ahead of time I can't handle without potentially lethal risk to the other participant, is the difference here.
In fact I do volunteer to be in similar situations for different reasons, and part of that decision is the acknowledgement that as the only guaranteed willing participant, it is my responsibility to bear the risk of the encounter.
I don't get where cops and, apparently, some EMTs find the mentality of "I choose to be here, so I may harm you to ensure my safety." Simply choose not to be there! Do something else with your evenings my man.
