It's like Saddam Hussein, back in the day. I would point out to people that in many countries (or neighbourhoods even) a leader has to be capable of using the stick. It would simply not be possible to rise into leadership if you were not capable of meeting violence with violence. The important part is what are you doing it for?
See, the crime in Iraq went way up from near zero once Saddam was deposed. Do you want a thug or do you want chaos, sometimes that is the choice.

I believe you're right.
