Meanwhile, these same people think nothing of the great ghetto pastime called “the knockout game”, which literally kills people.

If someone possesses a “delicate constitution”, whether by health condition or drug abuse, such that any attempt to physically restrain him will result in his probable death, are we expected to forego all physical interventions regardless of his behavior?

And if there’s no way to tell someone’s poor physical health at a glance, does that mean no one can deploy any physical interventions at all, ever? What if a person’s behavior is putting other people at risk? What if the next person he assaults has a “delicate constitution” and dies?

It all comes down to one question: do we go out of our way, as a society, to respect the health and well being of criminals as they are in the process of denying that respect to law-abiding citizens? Do we prioritize the criminal to such a degree that innocents are needlessly harmed?

The answer to this question should be a resounding “no”.
