All of society runs on the underlying threat of violence/force... From staving off wars, to enforcing our laws. It all requires people to be cajoled into being good/better under the threat of punishment. Usually through isolation from the rest of society, or straight up violence.
That threat of force is given to the government on behalf of the authority and consent of the governed. If they continue to abuse it, then it's only on the governed to establish that change themselves. Either through political violence, or by changing the politicians / laws.
