    I think the difference with cops is that they don’t need the self-defense argument, because the “oopsie” argument gets them out of jail too

      well they always say “feared for their life” so i think you have a point but that argument is root in idea that they always have a right to defend themselves and be given deference on their decision making, ie they only need to feel that way subjectively.
