from my experience, pepper spray is a joke.

The naked rages in public seem so much like demon possession. Pepper spray may work on a person who isn't completely disturbed - but it isn't going to phase someone who has taken leave of his senses. Yet, this naked madman grabbed the gun, loaded the clip into it, and fired only at the deputy, not randomly into the crowd or the air. Demonic.

Any thoughts on the effectiveness of electronic stun guns?

For example, do they usually work against an intoxicated person or a mentally ill person in a rage?

Are the higher voltage ones more effective?

I remember seeing the Rodney King video when he was hit with a taser, which I believe was 50,000 mV. I thought that it momentarily staggered him and he nearly went down.

Do such nuts respect the sight of a drawn weapon, or is an officer prohibited from pulling out his gun in such a situation.
