well, i know that in philadelphia if you are injured by the police in the course of an arrest at, say, a political demonstration, then you are charged with assaulting a police officer. local customs can be funny--you often don't know about them until something happens. but in principle, it'd be an justifiable homicide, wouldn't it?
