You could argue that it's law enforcement but keep in mind he's in the army and not the police force, but the methods the Britainnian army implements at times are way too brutal to be called any form of justice.

Suzaku is working for a force he thinks cannot be beaten, something he admitted to Toudou himself in their duel. If that is the case, then lessening the violence by beating the ones who are "uselessly wasting" their lives and getting innocent Elevens involved in their actions is a sacrifice worth doing.

Because in Suzaku's mind, Britannia will still defeat the rebels in the end (ALL of the Black Knights thought this way even during episode 18 to 20) and hence, the perpetrated violence is just plain "useless" instead of actually helpful.

THAT is Suzaku's justice. And all justice is relative so it would be better not to start any namecalling about what and what is not justice.

My opinion is that the discrimination is the root cause of all the violence in Britainnian areas. Suzaku (in season 1) was merely trying to treat the symptoms without treating the cause, or maybe he couldn't treat it. The way the two chars approach the situation reminds me of this particular analogy. If the violence/unrest/discrimination was like a form of cancer, Lelouch and the OoTBK would be like the surgical option of removing the cancer. Just go in and cut it out if possible. Suzaku is more like the medicinal approach

Yeah, but discrimination CAN fade away. Through acceptance and through a good amount of luck. Besides, for every racist Britannian he's ever met, he also knows that there are good people in that country and at the very least, people who don't care at all and are just practical people.

And that's where Suzaku got lucky. He eventually met kind hearted and/or pragmatic Britannians that didn't really care if you are an Eleven.

This reminds me of Celestial Beings: Using violence to react to violence. Where is Setsunaaaaaaaa>_________<

But unlike Celestial Being, Britannia is entire country that has billions of people depending on its stability.
