Tasers can cause heart attacks, tear gas can cause asphyxiation, I don't even have to get into what those extendable metal batons can do.

Does everyone remember that one week where Biden was advocating that cops shoot people in the legs and libs were a little confused on how to message that? Half were ignoring it and the other half were trying to earnestly say shooting people in the legs would save lives (it wouldn't).

Fun fact there's no reliably non-lethal way to shoot someone with a firearm. If you're shooting someone, you're attempting to kill them. People have watched way too many movies where the Terminator or whatever will shoot someone in the thigh with expert accuracy, leaving their target in pain and immobilized, but alive. Yeah no. People are twitchy and don't have perfect accuracy. You're trained to fire at center mass not because that's the best location to shoot a person, but because that's where you're most likely to hit. If you're aiming for a leg you might as well be aiming at their groin, the ground, or even their head. And even if by some miracle you do manage to hit precisely in the leg as a non-lethal technique, good job you just lacerated the target's femoral artery and they'll bleed out in 3 minutes.

I fucking hate cops
