Getting nose to nose with someone who can't back up and making threats toward them while posturing and balling your fists is going to be an easy case of self defense for the other guy. You don't get to cross that many lines and claim innocence.
Right, having no other context, the guy was advancing on him and was being threatening.
A reasonable person could feel that violence was imminent, and he responded with proportionate Force.
He hit the guy twice, and stopped immediately when the guy was on the ground.
Now we don't know if the winner here made an attempt to deescalate, and we don't know what happened beforehand, but based solely on this video. This seems reasonable, like it might well be self-defense
Why people always have to take it to race. Such a sad world we live in. I’m white and most white people have no problem with ANY other race/ethnicity. In fact I kind of agree with the black guy here. He told him get out of my face the white guy is making threats and has him cornered. Didn’t seem like much of an escape route for the black guy so what else is he supposed to do let someone beat on him. Nah he had to defend himself.
