why would they think that being aggressive

Lack of imagination? Inexperience?


The real question is - why do some people conflate aggression with
authority?
Insecurity? Ego? The insecure are aggressive because they want to hide their feelings. The egotistic want to feel important, and being rude or aggressive and getting away with it is a sign that they are.

No need to worry now, the coast is clear,
We can make a little music now the night is ours,
And it'll sure sound sweeter after hours."
