But your best bet is to de-escalate and hope it's enough against someone that is probably carrying a taser, a baton, a firearm, and maybe even pepper spray.

Like generally speaking if they're violent and armed and coming in with weapons ready and a flashlight at your eyes.

Tyre Nichols got murdered in cold blood regardless, and that's horrifying, but he wouldn't have stood a chance if he had come out swinging either.

That's why reform and accountability and the reduction of police authority/retraining is so important... We're not Chuck Norris or John Wick in the movies that can beat four armed cops + whatever backup they call, if they want to kill us, they will.

Oh absolutely. Best option is to avoid them in the first place, if you have to interact comply, if you cannot then run, if you cannot then realize it's a fight for your life

Each option is orders of magnitude more preferable to the succeeding option
