Both cases may consider mercilessness. At the point when cops feel scared, they may preemptively strike an individual regardless of the possibility that the officer was in no impending peril. It might be harder to demonstrate unreasonable drive for this situation on the grounds that the officer may guarantee he or she felt undermined and needed to represent his or her wellbeing (McGinniss, 2000).

Regardless of the reason a cop utilized exorbitant compel, the officer being referred to ought to be considered responsible for his or her activities.
