I would suggest the book Jesus and the Powers[1] by NT Wright and Michael F Bird if you have interest in the topic.

Basically they prefer nonviolence, but leave the door open to other options when confronting abusive governments in extreme situations where nonviolence has failed to produce change. They say the choice to use violence should not be easy. It should be done only for the public good not for one group of people and its use should be scaled to the nature of the evil being resisted.
