Unfortunately the cat's law is from 2011, while this one is from 2012. So apparently that law has been overturned in favor of this one.

It's not overturned.
You can still go to the court for shooting a cop.
The headline is misleading because it's missing the condition where the cop illegally enters your home.

If a cop illegally enters your house, he's not doing his job, and you should be allowed to shoot him.

Maybe not, what if someone call the cop about domestic violence and cop tired to inspect but was blocked from entering due to lack of search warrant?

I think the judgement should vary depend on individual cases. If accused can prove the police gave no valid reason for entering, then I think they should have the right to shoot, but if the officer give legitimate reasons, then the accused should be tried as attempted murder or at least battery.

Using a gun is a condition in individual cases.
There are other ways of keeping an officer or an intruder out than using a gun.
In court, you will be marked down for even pulling out a gun on someone.
It's only last resort when you recognize the officer or any other person is a threat (revealing weapon) and it's valid in court.
Guns are extreme and any form of injuries are fatal.

So if this law is invalid what do you do if someone, including police, break into your home? Offer them some tea?

Remember how they like their tea, 1 spoon of sugar and 3 spoon of rat poison.
