    When a common tool for detaining people is likely to kill you, you have it coming if you just run into the field during a match. It’s like walking out in front of a moving vehicle. The penalty isn’t death, and no one is trying to kill you. It’s likely to happen on accident though.

    • It’s a bit more like stepping on the road in front of a vehicle that isn’t moving, and then hitting the gas pedal and claiming “shouldn’t have stepped on the road!”. It’s not wrong, but choosing this method to deal with it is simply not necessary.

      If a child steals something, is keeping them at gunpoint a proportionate response? Sure, kid shouldn’t steal and just holding someone at gunpoint won’t kill them, but it’s also an unnecessary risk.
