How is it bonkers for it to be legal to shoot someone slamming you head into the ground?

Oh meant more the other cases were people are claiming to be simply threatened.
Here as far as I read there is a witness.

Weird that there were all these witnesses to Martin beating the shit out of Zimmerman but not a single person saw Zimmerman shoot Martin.

So in Florida, can I shoot a cop for slamming my head into the ground, or do I have to settle that in the courtroom? |

I encourage you to pull a gun on every cop you see.

Different context.
When a officer ask you to comply, you are legally required to do so.

Well, hopefully, the police did at least some minimal forensics stuff. Were there powder wounds on Martin's chest? Did the bullet go through, and, if so, where did it end up. What kind of trajectory did it have. Were Martin's knuckle's bruised? Was the blood on Zimmerman his blood or Martin's blood? Supposedly, Zimmerman had a bloody/broken nose, but, he refused treatment and, apparently, the police took no photos of his injuries. What was the lighting like? Where was Zimmerman carrying his gun? Would it have been visible to Martin? Does the crime scene offer any evidence that supports Zimmerman's story? Or evidence that contradicts it? Zimmerman also wasn't tested for alcohol/drugs, though that is fairly routine in a shooting death.

I was talking about when cops go beyond the law like in those videos. If you were on a jury and a cop repeatedly slammed a cooperating suspects head on the ground and was shot dead would you convict?

self defense is perfectly legal against a cop.
you better damn well be able to prove that it was self defense though.
all citizens are bound by the same laws, no matter what they do for a living or how much money they have.
it should be argued that our laws bind us to treat everyone by the same rules, but a recent string of politicians has destroyed that idea in an attempt to elevate certain people to be above the law.
