You do.
The question is legal vs illegal.
If a cop busts down your door for no reason and tried to kidnap your wife. You absolutely have the right in many states to shoot the intruder.

Unfortunately you dont. A cop has qualified immunity which means if they shoot someone doing something illegal they can get away with a lot more than a private citizen might should they make a mistake. For example if I saw a cop choking someone to death and i pulled out my gun and shot him in the head, and the other cops then pulled out their guns and shot me dead, those other cops would likely get away with it on qualified immunity since they are reacting within the moment. Which means the consequence for me to shoot a cop is to be murdered on the scene with little or no consequence to those murdering me, a cop however could get away with the same act and should he be shot dead the person killing him would likely get in trouble.
Lol. That's not what qualified immunity is.
It doesn't cover them commiting a crime.
George Floyd come to mind?
Killed a guy and now is in jail. And that was one where he may or may not have been performing his duty. Close call but not ..
Bad cops go to jail all the time. Money laundering, agression, killing, kidnapping, etc..
