"Cut down in the street" is foolishly inflammatory without context.

As is the presumption that he was fleeing or surrendering. (It's a hard sell to say that can be cognitively identified in just a few seconds.)

What you CAN know is that you were attacked, the attacker is still close enough to cause you harm, and you've been trained what to do in that situation: end the threat.

The variables are simple. Difficult but simple.
