Thankfully, that monopoly on legitimate violence is one that the people can give and take. If the people decide that the state's violence is illegitimate, then it is illegitimate.
Yup, I was going to make the distinction between perceived legitimacy and actual legitimacy, but on reflection I think legitimacy is socially constructed, so perceived legitimacy is just legitimacy.
That's why things like the George Floyd uprising was so important. The legitimacy of the state's violence has taken a huge hit in recent times, and I don't see it getting better any time soon.
