Tasers, spray, infrasonics, photonic weapons, I support the research and development of them all.
Non-leathal weapons provoke a horrific surge in use. This TED talk has a great expose on non-lethal weapons.

I watched the video, and the TEDX speaker (Mr. Coleman) never dismisses non-lethals but warns about their usage. Something I agree with. Why are police tazing little children and old seniors? Erring in judgement, non-lethal are supposed to be used as often or less frequently than lethal weapons. There needs to be more negotiation than aggressive action. I completely agree with what has been discussed. However, we have not concluded that these types of weapons are as dangerous as lethal weapons- the malpractitioner is at fault with their procedure.
