What cops? All I see are plainclothes goons with no legitimate authority, against whom violent self-defense is eminently justified.

violent self defense? how? they're not even armed

they’re not even armed

I think that you would find that if a person attacked a police officer with a baton, the police officer would be found to be justified in using deadly force.

so no self defence after all?

Never has been against police. If they break down your door in the middle of the night because they're at the wrong place you can't defend yourself.
