A masked guy breaks down your door w/o an Article III warrant absent exigent circumstances? Yeah, I’d agree. Trick will be that pressing the murder charge would be federal since a federal agent dies in the line of official work (though illegal), which would give the president grounds to push for death.


why not booby trap
That actually is illegal, assuming you aren’t home. If you aren’t home (and thus not in danger from home invaders), then setting up booby traps in your house doesn’t count as self defense
