They attack you - DA releases them without charging them.
You defend yourself - prosecution and possible prison time, no matter what the video evidence says. Even if you ultimately get acquitted, a trial is going to take a LOT out of you in terms of stress and $$$.
On the other side, people tend to support those that stand up in the right. Get your gun confiscated, someone will buy you one. Get into legal issues, a lawyer will pro bono. You die, your family gets a GoFundMe. Now I like avoiding risk and especially death but it has been heartwarming to see people supporting those that stand up. Doesn't always work out obviously but it's nice to know people have your back.
How exactly does that help?
