Any so-called "answer" to this question would be subject to opinion and is probably much too broad to be addressed on this venue with any finality.

However, the following is offered as a response;

Chemical or electrical subduing agents are deployed against ANY individual whose violent struggles are resisting custodial actions. This would include mentally disturbed individuals as well.

While each and every situation will undoubtedly be different, the following generality can be drawn: Unfortunately, society and technology offers few options to first responders and in reality. they are faced with only two decisions - take the person into custody, or let them go. In order to protect both the restrained individual AND the first responder these types of technologies are becoming more commonly employed. The only other option is the use of physical force or a 'physically disabling' weapon which, as mentioned, can be injurious to both the individual and the 'subduer.'

Statistically, there will probably always be a certain number of persons who, for various reasons, have a lower tolerance than the general public to the chemical or electrical agents and who may succumb when they are deployed against them. However, the rate of serious injury and/or death is statistically MUCH lower when they are used in preference to night sticks - billy clubs - batons -ASPS - etc, where they must be used to physically beat the individual into submission.

The use of force to subdue someone is never attractive to contemplate and is even worse to witness or engage in however - when the two methods are compared, the use of chemical or electrical agents clearly has the greater advantage and is more humane.
