A masked guy breaks down your door w/o an Article III warrant absent exigent circumstances? Yeah, I'd agree. Trick will be that pressing the murder charge would be federal since a federal agent dies in the line of official work (though illegal), which would give the president grounds to push for death.

Local laws may vary but defense of others is typically seen as valid too. Imminent threat of nighttime home invasion is probably in a textbook as the obvious example of when a reasonable and capable person may intervene.

Masked armed thugs stacking up on your neighbor's door? Tally ho, motherfucker.

Note, the law usually specifies defense of the innocent.

Even minor charges against the person you’re defending could complicate your legal case.

Juries that are notoriously well known for trusting cops and police testimony.

But if they're not available for testimony...

You think every member of the Union won’t be up there on the stand to cry about how great a guy he was?
