Current law enforcement or military police correct me if I'm wrong

Chainsaws and steak knives kill people too tom.
You're not suppose to hit anyone near the head or neck areas unless you're justified in using lethal force. Frankly I can kick harder than I can hit with an ASP baton. Those things are really light and don't pack much of a punch to be honest. Those big billy sticks or whatever they're called do work though but police departments don't carry them anymore. Being tasered isn't so bad, I would rather get tasered 10 times over than get sprayed with OC.
