Violence is an absolute requirement for the existence of law. If you have a law saying “you can’t do X” there needs to be some system that enforces the law. Law enforcement cannot exist without actual violence or the threat of violence. I believe what you’re really asking is if law is justified, since it requires violence against people breaking it. Edit: fwiw there is a somewhat extreme libertarian ideology that holds exactly this so you wouldn’t be alone
