This could be an Authoritarian Personality Disorder which stems from henious cultural beliefs of inferior and superior "caste systems" of power and authority over other. These types of people are attracted to positions of power such as politics, the justice system, law enforcement (Correctional Officers and policemen), and as religious leaders. They respect (kiss up to) those above them in authority (unless it is a woman, black, or Jew, etc.) and abuse those beneath them (woman nurse and prisoners abused by Correctional Officers, criminals abused by police officers, wife abused by her husband, etc.)
For several examples: The person with the Authoritarian Personality Disorder believe according to their cultural and religious dogma, for instance, that women and blacks are inferior to the white male. This sick culturally caused thinking could also be found in a black society against whites. Or that Jews are inferior compared to Christians. Or that Jews are the only "chosen" people or that the Mormon church is the "only true church." Or that Christians are "infidels" and should be killed according to Muslim culteral dogma who misinterpret the Koran.
