Is violence ever justified …?

I’d like to break this out a little –

Is lethal violence ever justified…?
Is non-lethal violence against persons ever justified..? Is violence against property ever justified…? (We could break this further to different kinds of
beings… but I //really// want to keep the focus on people.)

And I use the phrase "ever justified" with the caveat that we cannot know all possible situations in advance, i.e. as a strong standard.
