I think tjts1 already answered those questions.
There are accepted police procedures for handling this type of situation and there are methods that fall outside the accepted range. For example, asking politely would be outside the accepted range because it would be ineffective. Opening fire with automatic weapons would be effective, but perhaps a bit over the line in the other direction. The correct balance is somewhere in between. My guess is that the pepper spray method does not strike the correct balance. You seem to think otherwise, but the reasoning you've provided so far is not persuasive, IMHO.
