Police officers in court cases don't have to meet that standard until it established that they do not have qualified immunity. In vastly more than 9 out of 10 cases, they do, and thus that standard is completely irrelevant.

Qualified immunity only applies to civil cases, not criminal.

[PaulDavisThe1st]

Most (not all) cases against police officers for excessive/fatal use of force are civil (typically civil rights violations).
