Probably God's government. Why don't you go ask Him?

Thou shalt not murder means just that no matter what government it is so to answer the question you go by what gods says

Peace be with you,
The Commandment thou shall not murder is an Old Testament Commandment. If you believe in this commandment then you also believe in Moses, and are a follower of Moses.
Recall the Blind man's testimony in which he tells the Pharisees how Jesus made him see. Recall that after explaining these events several times he says to them, If I tell you this story one more time will you become his disciples?
Jesus' commandment says;
Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time Thou shall not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment;
BUT I SAY UNTO YOU;
That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment.
Jesus expanded on the commandment of Killing, who gave Jesus this authority?
Jesus commandment stated that if you are angry with your brother without a cause you shall be in danger of the judgment.
Angry we all know, but without a cause, eludes most of you.
What did Jesus say about a cause?
First he said; Thou shall not Judge, then he said, take the beam from your eye, then you can see clearly to take the speck from your brother eye. Lastly he said; leave thy gift at the alter and go and reconcil with your brother, one on one, if your brother will not hear you then take to witness to record all that has been said, and if your brother still will not hear thee, take it to the church.
Jesus said If two of shall agree on earth as touching any thing that they shall ask, it shall be done for them of my Father, which is in heaven. For where two or three are gathered togetherin my name, there am I in the midst of them.
This is the church.
If we are to love one another, forgive trespasses, resist not evil, lay down our life, what enemies do we have? None.
The verse shake the dust form your shoes is the same as cast not your pearls before swind or give what is holy to dogs.
It was meant for the Apostles, so they would not be condemned for not spreading the Word, for not sowing seeds, for not giving what God had given them. For burying the word (talent) and not being fruitful

are you sure there is a commandment not to murder? if so, then God is being truly hypocritical. take for instance Exodus 34:13; God talks about driving out six tribes...why? what offence did they commit? where exactly is he driving them to?
Take a look at Leviticus 10. It's one of many scriptures where God is murdering people, sometimes whole tribes....

Murder is the killing of an innocent or killing without cause or authority. I believe we go by the laws of God but submit our selves to the law of the land in which we live.

Govts can be wrong all the while God is right. Live your life by Scripture and not strictly by what men say or right into law.

hence one of the many reasons why the Bible came with a oral explanation to it.
Those that read it without this tradition only see a poor one dimensional view of its message.
