Well they had sherrifs and constables in the founding fathers' time, too. The american revolution was not about anarchy or total freedom from all authority.

I dont think you can couch punching cops behind patriotic, second amendment type sentiments. The cops were obviously there in-the-wrong bc they didnt yet know they were called in on a lie, but the time to explain that is to a lawyer and in front of a judge.

At any point in history where there is a functioning society there are peace officers who respond if someone cries out that they are being beaten. "Stand your ground" and all that stuff is not applicable here. In fact if you were surrounded by 3 cops who thought you were a rapist or violent abuser I'd say you're lucky to be alive
