Of course they’re horrible. That’s the fascist mentality, a little genocide is worth it to make the streets clean and the trains run on time. But the empire didn’t keep the streets clean, they were horrible at it. This dude just sees someone with a badge cracking skulls and automatically assumes that means crime and injustice aren’t a problem.
There's also a shitload of crime in Mega-City One and the fascist enforcers who hold all the legal power are pretty much all shown to be massively corrupt, so lol and also lmao.
Dredd is the One Good Cop, which is why his rookie partner is allowed to extra-legally psychically rip a dude apart for information and why it's totally fine to engage in high explosive firefights in a densely crowded apartment building because someone is manufacturing narcotics.
It's not even an organic take to have!
Nothing the Empire does is good!
They're openly shown to execute civilians, oppress damn near everyone and even BLOW UP AN ENTIRE PLANET WITH PLANS TO KEEP DOING IT!
The only way you walk out of Star Wars thinking that the Empire are good guys is if you are a literal fascist!
