Definitely not utopian, but that fact doesn't prove that their world is worse than our "peaceful" society. Stuff even worse than that occasionally happen in the reality we live in.

Definitely not murderers but I've never heard anyone suggesting that a police officer shooting a criminal did so in "self-defense", unless he was actually being threatened.
Even if you kill someone before he can kill someone else that's not technically
self-defense.
Also police officers have generally more rights than the other citizens about using weapons against criminals.
For example a police officer can shoot to a criminal who is escaping after being warned, but a normal citizen cannot, and can be even prosecuted if he does that. (that may vary from country to country but generally is like that).
