The National Use of Force Framework outlines guidelines for law enforcement officers to follow when using force. It is based on preserving life, maintaining order, and protecting the safety of both the public and law enforcement officers. Option B, holding people down on the ground, goes against the principle of preserving life and can also pose a risk to the safety of the person being held down. Therefore, it is not a guiding principle of the National Use of Force Framework and is the correct answer. Options A, C, and D align with the principles of the framework, as they prioritize the preservation and protection of life, public safety, and guard safety, respectively.
