“The situation is simple. Law enforcement has the authority to use deadly force when required to protect the sanctity of freedom, property, and life. If their ability to use force is removed, anarchy will evolve.”
Agreed - but it is not just law enforcement that has that authority, we do too. (Although state law varies).
If we take life independent of the State, then the State arrests us for murder or manslaughter. That’s why the names on the docket in such cases are between the accused and the State.
