Perchy, I have a nice collection of Tasers.
Tasers are a great bit of kit. minimal injury to officer or “customer”
Have been tasered myself in training. Not a nice experience at all.
But, officers options..
Baton [Steel bar]..has to be used up close and will hurt if used on a person
Spray .. need to be close up to use
Restraint…Not a chance…
Taser all the way
Or..offered him a sit down, comfy chushions and a discussion on the correct behaviour in a public place. 🙄
