Thinking about it, I don’t see a single situation where using OC would result in more good than bad compared to utilizing other less-than-lethals. Do you have a specific case where it would be the most effective option? Risking cross contamination, agitation of the suspect and your fellow officers, etc.?
Thanks for the answers!

OC is a better tool than a taser in a plenty of scenarios. It is also lawfully a (slightly) lower use of force
