You can't legally commit violence based on a hypothetical scenario.

You can't legally overthrow an oppressive regime, either. Legality is not the same as morality.

Exactly. The amount of people here saying “let the cops do it” or saying something about how whatever response is “illegal” is irritating.

Ok, but you can't morally attack someone for a hypothetical scenario either.
