No, the law allows shooting a cop during the arrest, so long as it's a false arrest. As I remember, it was an old law dating back from the cattle era and was never amended due to its obscurity. I'm guessing it was originally enacted to counter abuse from law enforcement back then.
I'm trying to find the law's exact language, but google isn't helping much.
Has it ever dawned how many criminals there are behind bars right now who believe they were "victims" of "false arrest"????
That is just an absurd notion in a civilized society. Like I said, that's what we have a court system for....to determine if arrests are lawful or not. Why have a court system if we are to decide on the one hand...cops can summarily kick the shit out of or even kill suspects without their day in court of suspects to shoot cops trying to execute duly authorized warrants or arrest upon probably cause???
What idiot believes it's a good idea to have shootouts with cops because some goober believes (who likely has no clue about the standards for arrest) his arrest is unlawful??
