Have there been any studies which have shown that you have any larger chance of dying by use of pepper spray than compared to any other method of subduing?
I mean if you wrapped your arms around a kid to calm him down, he could choke and die! If you pushed him down to the ground to restrain him he might break his femur and bleed out!
Where do you draw the line between pulling possible conclusions out of thin air and only considering conclusions that have a real chance of happening. Walking down the street has risks, but it doesn't mean we are all confined to our houses.
