...from my man, Massad Ayoob.

Heed his words, they most definitely helped save Kyle Rittenhouse during his trial.

During a military deployment where I performed force protection duties that had an element of police-type work to it, this is exactly what we were trained to say if we had to engage someone with deadly force.

Do I have to watch the entire video, or can someone provide a succinct summary?

There's a summary right below the video.

Emphasis below added by me.

Even in a clear self defense shooting, the prosecution will try everything they can to get a guilty verdict. Massad Ayoob looks at the difference between the two phrases "Shoot to Stop" and "Shoot to Kill." Massad explains "Mens Rea," which is latin for "the guilty mind." He examines the case of Texas vs Amber Guyger. Be prepared to answer to the questions "Why do you carry a gun?" & "Did you shoot to kill?" Words mean things!

...

0:00 - "Shoot to Kill"
1:10 - Words mean things
2:05 - Mens Rea
3:25 - Texas vs Amber Guyger
6:17 - Why do you carry a gun?
7:15 - "Shoot to Stop""

Ayoub also posted this video regarding being caught up in mob violence, and the way the legal outlook has changed from the 20th century to the narrower focus in today's brave new world.

Mas is the man.

Yes he is. I was listening to a few of his videos a couple of weeks ago for the first time. Straight forward, common sense information that could save you a lot of grief.
