RE: Above the law? Does the law even apply? What's the evidence?
"an unlawful killing of a human being":
So, if some law says it is ok to kill a human being, say, when a cop or soldier kills, it is ok.
That is the problem with state-made law.
Well, it really comes down to what you mean by ok.
Is it morally ok to kill a person? Personally, I don't think it's ever morally right to kill someone.
Is it ok legally (meaning you won't go to jail)? It depends. First, there aren't any enacted statutes or "laws" if you will, that say it's ok to kill a human being. "Unlawful" simply means without a defense or justification such as insanity or self-defense.
