Somebody has to be the aggressor. I was told in my CCW class that he who dials 911 first is NOT the aggressor.

It can’t hurt, but that can’t be relied on to keep you out of jail. People try that all the time in Domestic cases too and they are the one who goes to jail.
That’s also like saying if he was outside, “drag him in” CSI technology has progressed way past that. And, juries love CSI evidence.
What can be relied on to a great extent, but not dispositively is the statement - said first thing on police arrival, “I was afraid that he was going to kill me.” Or, “ I thought I was going to die.” Or, I believed he was going to use that (name the weapon) on me and I would be hurt badly. Except, perhaps in a Political football case like this.
Or, you are free to say “talk to my lawyer.” Don’t be afraid to assert your right to remain silent if you want to. Depending on what they see as evidence, you could get a ride too if they believe there is probable cause to arrest you. But, silence itself does not incriminate you.
Sometimes the evidence speaks best for itself, like a dead burglar in your home, or an an armed person lying on the ground.
Obama’s campaign is selling Obama 2012 Hoodies like Trayvon’s now for $40.00. But, he’s not making it racial at all, e.g., “If I had a son he would look like Trayvon,” whatever the inference of that is.
I wish the Justice department was at my beck and call too.
