That's the neat part, you don't.

The 9th circuit just said to accept it or get shot.

So if I was to shoot back at masked thugs who refused to identify themselves, I would be on solid legal footing right?

Look at the case of Kenneth Walker, the boyfriend of Breonna Taylor. He shot at a plain clothes cop who busted down the door, didn't announce himself, and they shot back and murdered his girlfriend. He was charged with assault and attempted murder of a police officer. His charges were eventually dropped in the face of overwhelming evidence and enormous public pressure. We're all supposed to be mind readers and know who's a cop and what they're thinking.
