I have viewed this a couple of times to include the 2nd half with an ex law enforcement officer.
This attorney represents CRIMINALS not those who have acted in self defense and are innocent.
Even though there is some good parts in this video as you do not want to get into trying to convince someone or search for acceptance from law enforcement as people have a tendency of modifying what they actually know in hopes to get that feeling someone believes me.
If these little additions are not consistent with evidence then it will be viewed as you are hiding something and will become suspect.
If involved in a shooting, where one may screw up as with not wanting to be viewed as being weak, when asked "were you scared?" and reply with "of what him?" Oh! You Were Not In Fear For Your Life!
If you literally go by what the attorney says there is a good chance that witnesses or even evidence supporting your innocence could be lost for ever.
My personal view is " I was in fear for my life, he came at me with a knife and I shot him in Self Defense" and then use the 4 W's, Who What Where and When and leave the Why when you have had time to calm down and seek council.
You do not want to be seen as not being cooperative with the basic information but they should understand anything beyond that, as if they were involved in a shooting they also will need to seek council before questioning.
I digress back to the topic, if he did what the news is reporting, they have done more harm to the cause then many here have accomplished.
