What should not be the purpose of using force?

Using force should always be justified within the context of safety, protection, and responding to aggression rather than serving as a means of making an example of others. Setting an example for others implies a punitive approach, which may involve using force in a way that is not proportional to the situation and does not necessarily contribute to immediate safety or threat neutralization.

In contrast, ensuring safety, protecting yourself or others, and responding appropriately to aggression are aligned with the ethical and legal guidelines of using force. These actions focus on maintaining order and preventing harm rather than enacting revenge or establishing a warning, which is not considered an appropriate use of force within the framework of Act 235.
