Kind of a slippery slope argument.

David Koresh shouldn't have shot back at those "search warrant" servers either.

The cases where resisting "paid off" is small. Off the top of my head I know of one in Indiana, where a homeowner shot back against what turned out to be an unconsitutional/illegal forced entry by police.

I understand the urge to resist, it happens often. I'd guess that alcohol is involved in the majority of those incidents.

Not to blanket defend the cops - that's a job for the courts, one they take up with pleasure.
