That takes us to the ultimate question—“Can a law enforcement officer use deadly force?”  As we just established, the job of a law enforcement officer is to “BRING” a violator before a court of law, where a judge will mete out the punishment. Since law enforcement officers have been given the authority to “BRING” a violator before a judge, they have also been given the discretionary latitude to use the necessary tools at their disposal to accomplish that task. Of course, one of those tools, the firearm, may be used to accomplish that goal.

Let’s pause to look at the laws of California and New York for a moment. California Penal Code section 19732 and New York Penal Code section 35.3033 both allow deadly force to be used by a peace officer, under a multitude of circumstances and situations.

In these pages, it would be virtually impossible to specifically state when, and under what circumstances, a law enforcement officer may be legally authorized to use deadly force. Nonetheless, since the Bible allows governments to create jobs, they may establish laws outlining the legal use of deadly force as we’ve just seen.  Since law enforcement officers have been biblically allowed to use deadly force, following the guidelines of Romans 13, have you ever wondered how a law enforcement officer, who must use deadly force and take a life, resolves the commandment, “Thou shall not kill”? (Exodus 20:13) Every law enforcement officer should know that particular commandment is actually translated, “Thou shalt not murder”. The Hebrew word for “murder” literally means, “The intentional, premeditated killing of another person with malice.”

Finally, if a law enforcement officer uses a firearm and is forced to take the life of another, the Bible clearly teaches that such law enforcement officer was acting as an agent of the government, which was established by God. As long as the officer acted in accordance with their existing laws; in accordance with their established policies; harbored no malice or intent to harm another; was not negligent; and acted in harmony with Romans 13:4, where it was his or her intent to “bring” the violator before a magistrate to be punished, then that law enforcement officer acted as a genuine peacemaker following the biblical precepts. Remember, “Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called the sons of God.”
