Yes, you are. You say you aren't, but you do not acknowledge that there are times when a citizen's firing on a police officer is justified.
You make the police both of less responsibility and less accountability than you would your fellow citizen: why?

When you open fire on police you've made a conscious decision to surrender your right to due process.

No, you do not. That's as stupid as saying "because there were accusations of child molestation at Koresh's Branch Davidian that fully indemnifies the ATF and DOJ from their actions, justifying their use of force for alleged taxation issues."

IOW -- YOU ALWAYS HAVE THE RIGHT TO USE NECESSARY FORCE, INCLUDING DEADLY FORCE, TO PROTECT YOURSELF AND OTHERS.

So in case you forget, when you are stopped for any infraction of the law, don't open fire on the officer or he may take it as a sign that you are attempting to kill him and he'll return fire.

Ah, so just because I'm stopped means I'm going to shoot him. That's really, really... silly. Of course what about the other way:
Imagine you're at home and see a police officer on your property, in your drive way peering into your vehicle. You exit the home and approach asking what he's doing, he tells you it's none of your business, and to go back inside. You tell him that he's on your property and you want to know his business there. He persists in intimidation, placing his hand on his firearm and telling you to get inside.

The above happened to my own mother. No explanation, no warrant. Departing from the historic, let's enter the hypothetical:
Would she be a lawbreaker for (a) shooting him then and there, or (b) threatening him with force if he refused to leave?

Yes, you are.

I proved you wrong again and being the emotionally unbalanced poster that you are, you refuse to see it even though it's right in front of you in black and white.

there are times when a citizen's firing on a police officer is justified.

List them. Was Dorner's firing on police justified?

No, you do not.

Then go ahead and start shooting and see what the results are.

so just because I'm stopped means I'm going to shoot him.

You're acting like a loose cannon Dorner here. I'm just giving you fair warning.

Simple, Dial 911 and report it. Why walk outside when there may be an armed fugitive waiting to open fire on the cop?
