The policy is foolish. Telling employees that they should never defend themselves acts against human nature; you always defend yourself as best you can if you percieve your life to be in mortal danger. If your best defense is cooperation, then you do that. But cooperating isn't easy when you feel you're microseconds away from death.
I think Pizza Hut should present a policy of intelligent restraint. They should provide training for their employees on how to handle themselves in these situations, and explain what to do. If they want to fire employees for defending themselves, that's their business and their rules. But I would rather they take an active role in the safety of their employees, and educate them in what to do in these situations.
