When government broke down, a tyrant was often appointed to govern and end the disruptive infighting amongst the aristocracy. This was usually by popular consent of the middle and lower classes who had become tired of aristocrats promoting trouble in pursuit of their own interests.
The problem was that the tyrant had to raise a tax to hire a personal bodyguard to protect himself from assassination by the frustrated aristocrats, and the tax was resented by many. However the beneficial effects meant that this was generally tolerated, in some cases (eg Athens in the 6th Century BCE) for several generations.
Well, since Aristotle thought that tyranny was the most perverted of the three perverted types of constitutions (the other two being oligarchy and democracy), because of the fact that a tyrant's reason to rule was for personal gain, I'd assume he was against them.
