And I understand exactly what you’re saying.

FWIW, the court will decide, before the trial (or during, if not raised before the trial starts) whether or not defendant is permitted to make an argument, or seek an instruction that provides for the use of reasonable force against unlawful entry by the police.

Your counsel will need to find another line of argument, and of course may seek any other remedy that is available under the law.
