That's such a broken system.

Ironwood should never have that much power. He's too paranoid, and his answer to everything is either "Kill it before it even tries to kill us" or "Throw our weight around, show off our might and power." Is it really paranoia when everyone you work with is completely useless or is actively betraying you? And since his enemy is the Grimm mainly, killing before it kills you is kinda the smart way to go. As far as throwing his weight around... he justified that fairly well. He wanted to make the people of Vale feel safe and discourage their enemies. And again, this was a reasonable decision for him to make for the aforementioned being surrounded by lazy incompetents.
