Sports fans will tell you: The refs never see the cheap shot, but they catch the retaliation.

Bully victims in schools can tell you that. When you get bullied, no teacher will interfere, but when you try to fight back there will be a teacher to stop you and give you a punishment.

Difference there is the teachers and administration do see the instigation. Same outcome though.

Once a student filmed himself getting bullied to show evidence to his principle. The principle was on the side of the bully and the victim got punished for filming him without his consent. The principle was afraid that they'd get sued by the parents of the bully for having been filmed.

A lot of the time, in my personal experience being bullied, admin and teachers love the bullies. I once had a girl crash into my car and drive away in our school parking lot. A different girl who was walking to her car had caught it in a Snapchat video and sent it to me. The police officer we had on campus said the girl was “a good kid and would never do that” even after I showed her the video. They completely refused to help me or even look at the security cameras until my dad came to school with his lawyer on the phone and suddenly everything became “a misunderstanding”

Pro tip for life: never talk to the police. Always talk to your lawyer.
