idk about sources but trying to argue "self defense" doesn't exactly work when you put yourself into a situation that makes you into an agitator. You can't go up to a person and yell at them and push them around and then shoot them and claim "self defense" when they try to take a swing at you.
In that case you should congratulate your brother on agreeing that protestors should be able to shoot back at the cops that fire upon them first. After all, isn't that just self defense? And they have the right to protest in the first place, right?
