I've seen the first three videos and found them to be enlightening. I'd thought about some of the scenarios but the videos demonstrated them well.
My first line of defense is the common sense of trying to avoid dangerous situations as much as possible. My days of running, fighting, and other physical responses are long gone. I'm going to avoid getting into dangerous situations if possible.
As far intervention goes, my preferred method is to use the cell phone, as used in the parking lot video. I hate cell phones but carry one for emergencies. It would have to clearly be a life-death situation before I would personally intervene. I'm not a LEO. I carry to defend myself and my family from imminent threats. In fact, I can perceive situations where I'm less likely to directly intervene because I'm carrying. Direct intervention can easily escalate some situations, as between husband and wife. Most of the time it's probably better to call the LEOs or intervene from a distance.
