Actually, you can claim self-defense against known and identified police. Legally, if the police attempt to affect an arrest upon you without cause, this is considered an assault upon your person, and you can defend yourself with as much force as needed until ultimately killing the offending officer.

Of course, in reality, we all know the police would lie and make up something to justify why you were being arrested, but the fact is, a citizen CAN defense themselves against the police, when necessary.
