In the case of imminent threat, the 'excessive force' issue is frequently ignored. Especially so in cases, in which no weapon was used.
Have you ever been in a situation in which all reason left you, and you completely lost control? I have. It's a frightening thing to know that you could have killed someone. You aren't thinking about appropriate force. You aren't thinking about anything. You're simply, instinctively trying to erase something.
