We never didn't need violence and always will need it... Police is institutionalized violence, the judiciary system is how we figure out how much violence to punish people with.

Society needs them as long as there are things society wants to stop people from doing. It's when this system doesn't work anymore that we need violence from other sources, but still, we need violence.
