    I think pepperspray is ideal for the ordinary police as junkie riots are fairly infrequent.
    The yanks have pepper spray paintball guns too. In fairness though the guards don't need any of that stuff they can fight as good as any knack.

    I remember a few years back a bunch of junkies started a mini riot in JD sports on henry street. Loads of the staff had to get tested for hep/hiv after. Couldn't really shoot them because anyone yawning could get blood in their mouths. police in the vicinity could have sorted it in minutes if no risk to the public. Would the ERU already have tasers?

    I think that they would also have to use pepperspray if ever there was a mob of rioting rubber-fetishists to sort out.
