No. The government, via the police, can and does kill in the name of enforcing laws. But that power is not related to the fact we’ve made killing illegal for ordinary citizens. Outlawing murder is not what gave the government the right to kill, and outlawing discretionary firings would not be what gives the government the right to fire at its discretion (if it ever claimed that right).
