    I’m pretty sure self defence doesn’t apply against law enforcement, even if you don’t know they are law enforcement.

      It may not, but imo you do what you have to do to protect yourself against aggravated kidnapping, and then hope you/your lawyer can articulate how/why you did what you did later in court.

        Oh, totally, no dispute there.

        As Legaleagle put it in their most recent video: At that point it becomes logical to resist arrest, to run or to fight.
