The best use I found for pepper spray was having the ability to tell a citizen that
"Yes you can use a non-lethal weapon to stop your average armed intruder bent on taking everything you own, it is called Pepper spray, just walk up to him and tell him to hold still while you spray it into his eyes."
The looks I received varied.
As a street Officer I never used it and wanted very much to kick the butt of the three or four brother Officers that did while assisting me or visa versa. Also every booking person at the jail had not so very nice things to say to and about those that brought in perps coated with the damn stuff.
I have found it very nice for spraying the door handles of vehicles present at College keggers that got out of hand. It is so much fun to stop behind a kid a little while later and offer him the use of a canteen to clear his eyes and ask, ever so politely of course, were you at the mini riot young man?
