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.

Thanks for answering my question

Two more questions though. If you beat the frick out of someone; wouldn’t you have to go to to the hospital and still fill out a ton of paperwork? And officers that do carry tasers; are they cross trained as medics?
