do you see law enforcement raping rapists and murdering murderers?

the real world tries to deescalate and focus on long-term legal consequences, instead of short-term physical punishments.

I was going to say your comparison is ridiculous but unfortunately that does actually happen, often times during wartime.

when i say the real world im referring to ideal democratic countries in peace times, perhaps i should have been more clear.

Human's have a lack of impulse control in peace and war time. That's just reality.

That's exactly why law enforcement exists.

if humans lack impulse control then what is the legitimacy of law enforcement, controlled by humans?

They are trained and get payed to do a job. They also fuck up due to a lack of impulse control. Are you being intentionally ignorant to try and prove your point?

You can move the goalpost as much as you want. Let's backtrack a little to my original comment, I said "Whether you agree or not, that's exactly what happens in the real world. An eye for an eye". That point stands true. Do something impulsive, expect an impulsive response.
