The main problem is that then you're in the cop's crosshairs, and the Leviathan will not give up easy. If you're queer, prison can be extra dangerous, even if you are able to clear your name. The self defense calculus is different if you don't want to involve cops.
Mace is far better, as they'll be less likely to get police backup if they got maced by someone who ran. Also, face masks can keep your identity hidden from people in such attacks
Yup, when it's one against many, and the many can almost guarantee backup, you want escape as your primary goal when you're up against one or two, not elimination as a primary goal.
Yeah, be armed, be trained, be ready. But you gotta pick the time and place for action, not just go off randomly.
