International law enforcement standards explicitly state that police “may use force only when strictly necessary and to the extent required for the performance of their duty”.
Police must as far as possible apply non-violent means before resorting to the use of force; if the use of force is unavoidable, they must use it with restraint and in proportion to the seriousness of the law enforcement objective.
