Yeah, this is the point.

Self defense is not illegal but it's also not guaranteed to be seen as self defense.

If a cop randomly attacks you on the street and you fight back, you're going to be guilty regardless.

You have the right to self defense.  The cop has the right to basically murder you with impunity.

The cop doesn't have the right, technically, but nonetheless, they may get away with it.
