For any normal citizen, pointing a gun at someone unprovoked is considered assault at best.

I think the law is a bit different when that someone shows up at your door or is inside your house. Isn't that the essence of the Breonna Jones case? I was reading of a different case recently too.

If they've announced that they're law enforcement, it's a bad idea though. You may be in the right if you're just armed and not pointing it, but being in the right never protects you.

The law actually isn't different.

Cops just have qualified immunity and have shown they throw hissy fit little tantrums if a DA holds them responsible for being the worthless sacks of shit that they are.

That they sometimes are.

I agree that good cops do exist. Show me a cop that, for example, wants justice for Breonna Taylor, and I'll agree they're one of the good ones. But without being able to clear what is actually a very low bar for belief in American ideals and the rule of law, most of them are part of a criminal conspiracy.

Yeah, I bet if someone came over and beat the shit out of you for only an hour a day, you'd be correcting people that the person is only sometimes an asshole.
