Excessive force is evaluated based on the "reasonableness" standard established in the Supreme Court case Graham v. Connor (1989). Courts consider factors such as:
-The severity of the crime at issue.
-Whether the suspect posed an immediate threat to the safety of officers or others.
-Whether the suspect was actively resisting arrest or attempting to flee.
