In addition to pursuing the death penalty where possible, the Attorney General shall, where consistent with applicable law, pursue Federal jurisdiction and seek the death penalty regardless of other factors for every federal capital crime involving:

(i)   The murder of a law-enforcement officer; or

(ii)  A capital crime committed by an alien illegally present in this country.

The Attorney General shall encourage State attorneys general and district attorneys to bring State capital charges for all capital crimes with special attention to the crimes described in Subsections (i) and (ii), regardless of whether the federal trial results in a capital sentence.

    So the implication, not letter, of the 2nd ammendment gives US citizens the right to shoot cops if they are acting as an extension of a tyrannical state. I wonder if there is a case to be made that this executive order infringes on the constitution.
    Of course, I don’t expect any 2A stans to care.
