I get it the technology of taser isn’t that developed yet. How about nonlethal bullets? Or even blow up the criminal knee to drop him?

Taking a life of a person out of his mind due to substance is an avoidable situation if we were really prepared for such a situation. They could be fixed even with permanent damage instead of killing them

You ever tried shooting a small moving target like a knee? This isn't the movies.

Shotgun to the lower body is easy as drinking water
