You’d have to fight hard to convince me he was deliberately trying to kill a cop. The screwy part is, if a cop kills you, it was an honest mistake. But you are supposed to know it was a cop, no matter the time, place, situation, or even if they were in uniform.
A while back, some plain clothed Beverage Control officers tried to stop two college girls. The girls did what any sane person would do, ran the yelling nuts over. The cops wanted to charge them, though they clearly didn’t know it was officers.
