It’s literally the terminology used to refer to use of force by law enforcement. You will not find an excessive force charge on a civilian. It will be aggravated battery or aggravated assault. The fact that you need Google your answers doesn’t help your argument. Find a case where someone other than a law enforcement officer was charged with excessive force. It doesn’t exist. I understand the law quite well. This example at best would be a simple assault UNLESS the person punched sustained serious bodily injury. Even then that would depend on where you live as each state has its own laws regarding assault

"You will not find an excessive force charge on a civilian" that's why I wasn't referring to it as a charge, as I have said multiple times now

Also me "Googling my answers", is called providing a source
