You don't get to decide whether or not it was an acceptable risk to take the shoving and hope that nothing further happens. You don't get to decide how likely it was that further assault would have occurred.
The law empowers the guy on the ground to make that call. If that bothers you, attack the law.
I just did attack the law. Maybe next time read the post you're responding to.
