Joe, your comprehensive knowledge of the law notwithstanding, you have no idea of how the law will respond in your example. You don't know what the conversation between the two is. White guy punches black guy and says, "I'm going to beat you to death" while doing it? Since he doesn't have a gun to shoot him with, is the black guy beating him into submission a crime?
Have you ever seen a video of police bringing down a threat. Nothing proportional about it. Proportional in a street fight is nonsense. Intervening in a fight you don't understand is dangerous. That is all I have to say about that.
