It’s the same theory of a couple of cops trying to break up a domestic. Many times one of the partners, the one that is not being restrained, will attack the restrainer thinking they are “protecting” their partner from the “bad old cops.” And in a lot of those cases, alcohol may be involve effecting the judgement of the fighters. Never try to guess what a drunk violent person may do. The byline is, get help for backup. A chair, knife or gun in your back, is not healthy.
