It's like a gun, a good guy with a gun will be restrained when using it, aim carefully, make sure their target is deserving of it, etc. A bad guy using a gun will flash it to intimidate people, use it whenever they feel like, shoot people because they are acting out emotionally, etc.
The question of government is ultimately how many "good guys" you have running it as opposed to "bad guys" in the end.
