>The definition of "active shooter" is "there's someone running around shooting people".

No it's not: The United States Department of Homeland Security defines an active shooter as "an individual actively engaged in killing or attempting to kill people in a confined and populated area; in most cases, active shooters use firearms and there is no pattern or method to their selection of victims."[0]

Even if it was, I'm glad that definition excludes the events that transpired when Rittenhouse was attacked.

>Self-defense comes into play at charging time and in the courtroom, as it is now.

Self-defense came into play when he defended himself against assailants.

>The cops role during the shooting incident is to stop the shooting and detain whoever's doing it.

Non sequitur.

>Until they do, it's an active shooter incident.

That is not what an active shooter scenario is.
