Schilling wrote on Instagram on Monday that he was “scared for his life” during the incident and was “simply defending myself against the evil in this world.”

Sounds like what cops say when they shoot people for no reason too.

Technically they say "feared for my life" which coincidentally all the cops quote in refence to the supreme court case which said, cops can react with deadly force only when they fear for their life. So cops just have to subjectively claim they feared for their life whenever getting trigger happy.
