They're almost all legitimate uses of force by definition, unless the government breaks the law. This is orthogonal to moral or utilitarian concerns, however.

But whenever I see people upset government uses force, I think: of course it does. It's like birds using wings or Emacs users using the control key.

My point is that people may be upset at this particular use of force, not of the use in general. That it is legal is beside the point.
