It's pretty difficult to not have people like this showing up for job interviews when you're recruiting those who won't hesitate to use physical violence as a "legitimate" intervention in cases of human misbehavior. It's pretty difficult not to hire as many as you can find. And if you were to reject that type of personality out of hand...who's there when physical violence is a required last resort?
Reckon that's why the rate of domestic violence toward women is so high among males in law enforcement work and in the military. It's a problem with a species where the barbarism toward each other is pretty much built in. A basic drive for "survival of the fittest" in a species with intelligence and technology. How quaint.
