I like your thought process but I think you follow an incorrect path of reasoning because of the implicit assumption that if an act is considered violent it is to be avoided. The world is full of violent people who are only kept at bay by the threat of counter-violence. For that reason, violence is required in a civilized society. So we shouldn't avoid calling it what it is, and should acknowledge it so we can make good decisions about when to apply violence.
