Because there are many suspects and criminals who are armed. The officers carry lethal force= handgun, and non-lethal force= expandable baton,pepper spray, and taser.

Very basically, it goes as follows: Presence

Verbal commands

Hands on control/Fighting

Non-lethal weapons

Deadly force (lethal weapons)

Hyper-lethal = very dangerous.

Vector = force.

Hyper-lethal vector = very dangerous force.

the difference between nonlethal and lethal is that they both have lethal in there but non means no so nonlethal means no lethal at all.

Such a weapon is not a "prohibited weapon." Business owners may protect themselves with non-lethal force if assaulted.
