"Less-than-lethal weapons pose another problem. Because they're a low-intensity alternative to lethal force, they can be used more casually and often than necessary, said Argetsinger. Worse, officers who fear the use of justified deadly force may depend too much on less-than-lethal options and get hurt or killed, say police. Less-than-lethal alternatives can be lethal when used improperly or targeted at people with hidden health problems - like heart or respiratory conditions. Beanbag and pepper ball guns are never supposed to be fired at a suspect's face, groin or vital organs. Instead police target the legs or lower abdomen."
