Maybe it is because I am younger, but I could have caught every single one of those shits before they caught 100m from me and I know I would have thrown them to the ground hard enough to make them reconsider their life choices.
The only time I would bother is if they had a gun, simply because even a squirrel will defend itself if cornered and if I try and do something reckless I don't need to be potentially shot over a phone. However to the unarmed ones they would be knocked down pretty damn hard.
