@The5thSeraph Sure, but let's put aside the moral implications and the actual resolution of the trial, if there was one.
You said "'No matter what world we live in, there are guys who commit senseless crimes.'
Like resisting arrest, murdering the constabulary, vandalism, etc?"
And what I said is, the MC has a totally fair moral highground. He was not "resisiting arrest" for a crime he had comitted. He was defending himself from potential murderers, after having done nothing wrong. So no "senseless crime" that I can see, no matter how hard I look.
Them being cops is secondary, no matter how messy it may get later on because of it.
