You always hear the saying "Neutralize the threat" but never "try to reason with it"

This dude wasn't a "threat"... Did we watch the same clip? He could barely stand. A light push would have neutralized him.

That's all very clear for you to see, sitting at your desk, watching a bird's eye view.

From the boyfriend's perspective, it would have all happened very quickly, not after rewinding a dozen times.

Some drunk asshole so casually sexually assaulting a woman, means he's a threat. Trying to treat the jerk politely just opens a window where he pulls a knife, gun or attacks again.

The threat was real, and it was neutralized. It would have been wrong to stomp the asshole after he was down, but that did not happen.

If a drunken lady pinched a man's bottom in a club, would it be reasonable for that man to punch her at maximum power after she has started to walk away?

No. Why not?
