Which of the following is NOT a factor considered in determining whether the use of force was reasonable?

When evaluating the reasonableness of the use of force by law enforcement, several factors are typically assessed to ensure that the force applied is justified under the circumstances. The factors generally considered include the severity of the crime, the immediate threat to the safety of the officer or others, and the subject's level of resistance or attempts to flee. These considerations help determine if the force used was proportionate to the situation faced by the officer.

While the officer's training and experience may inform their decision-making in the moment, it is not explicitly a determining factor in the legal assessment of whether the use of force was reasonable. The focus of the assessment is mainly on the context-specific factors at play during the incident, rather than the officer's background or training. Thus, the inclusion of the officer's training and experience as a factor could lead to subjective interpretations that diverge from the basic factual circumstances surrounding the incident, making it less relevant in the legal evaluation of force used.
