Do things typically go well for people who use firearms against police? Is this some sort of crazy shit that I’m too Canadian to understand?

Very definitely not if you're black. Two famous cases of police murder- Breonna Taylor and Philando Castile involved legal gun ownership and use. The former involved her boyfriend shooting at police because he thought they were home invaders. They didn't care.
