Probation and Parole Officer here. We carry OC (Peppe Spray) and not tasers. We are armed. The problem with OC is that it contaminates everyone including you. It’s horrible. To get certified, we have to take a hit with it right in the face. It’s absolutely horrible stuff. You don’t see police using it nearly as much as they did about 20 years ago.
As much as I hate the stuff, I think it would be better to go back to widespread use of OC rather than tasers or impact weapons. Spray first and ask questions later. Spray them the moment they fail to comply.

Well I have a question that I am ignorant on. How come tasers and pepper spray are not used more? Lawsuits or something?
A few reasons. With OC, the officer is going to get some of it too, and it's horrible. Then you have to spend at least an hour decontaminating your suspect. For Tasers, most agencies require medics to come remove the probes, then the officer has to take the suspect to the hospital for a medical evaluation. Then there's a shite ton of paperwork involved for both.
