Should I Use My Club or My Pepper Spray?

It depends on the environment and the demeanor of the crowd. Police are trained to follow what?s called the ?use-of-force continuum.? As a first step, officers are supposed to use verbal commands and then empty-handed physical contact (e.g., pushing) as primary means of getting unruly people in line. If that doesn?t work, they move through various degrees of less-lethal force, and then to their firearms as a last resort, depending on how the suspect responds. But the details of the ?less-lethal? part of the continuum are ambiguous. Beanbag rounds, Tasers, pepper spray, tear gas, and billy clubs are all considered intermediate steps, but different police departments disagree over the order in which they should be considered. Many departments have varying opinions, for example, about whether one should use a Taser before pepper spray or vice-versa.
