My knowing the cops comes from working with them. If they are on the street arresting people, I know them...maybe not by name, but certainly by sight. If they're admin (by this I mean either supervisory or records), I know them. Now there may be some meter-maids and support personnel out there that I don't know, but they aren't armed (or sworn) anyway. As far as the number of officers, there are well over 200 sworn officers on just one of the police forces that I deal with.
As far as opening fire on the cops, I'd never do that if I knew that they were cops. Around here, the cops, by law, must first identify themselves by yelling the word "POLICE!" first. There have been cases where police failed to do this and were fired upon, and the shooter walked because they didn't ID themselves, and a reasonable person would have thought his or her life was in danger, so it was legal self-defense.
