I know what you are saying, Rob. But the fact of the matter is
that cops generally want to go home after the end of the shift.
That means shoot first and ask questions later.

Therefore, if you in ANY way threaten a cops life, he is going
to feel justified in killing you. Furthermore, if you do not
follow a cops orders that makes you a criminal for resisting
arrest etc. So he then has the right to arrest you for that too.

While police do have limitations in making arrests, resisting
arrest is NEVER a good idea even if you are totally innocent. The 
system says these things are to be settled in court, not with
a fight with cops in the street. Even worse, if your resisting
arrest can in any way be interpreted as a deadly threat to
police, you are dead. No matter if it was a mistake. Usually
the maximum punishment for murder by police is being fired
and having to find a job as cop in some small burg. The maximum
punishment for threatening a cop for you is instant death.

The ONLY time resisting arrest with deadly force is EVER justified
is when the "police" have been sent to assassinate you. In that
case (yes, it does happen!) take your best shot, don't miss, and
have your escape plan ready for the full might and force of those
in power will then seek to track you down. (I refer you to the 
Kohl case)
