I'm not talking about every case- and thank fully everyone knows not to use these rare cases as an affirmative defense. But, in cases where they are clearly overstepping their legal bounds, there has been precedence to excuse use of force against illegal action by authorities. I would never use force in a case like that unless I knew 110% it was airtight and justified- it's much better to just fight them in court where you don't stand the chance of sparking a deadly standoff with SWAT (that's something you will most certainly lose). I only state because it happened to my family when my brother got busted (after the fact) for Driving under revocation, deputies showed up at the house looking for him, my mother said he was not home, they asked to come in, she said no, they shoved her aside and came in anyway. At which point they overstepped their bounds. I don't give two shits what someone outside looking in says, my mother doesn't lie about these things...
