> beating up criminals in my neighborhood isn't a "feeling" of security it's actual security

You’re describing police beating up suspects. Few people have a problem with police beating up criminals, our prisons being Exhibit A. Police beating up suspects leaves all of us less safe, because now anyone who looks like a criminal has an incentive to not cooperate with law enforcement, and be prepared for violent encounters with the state, which means more accidental violence with non-state persons.
