Tazer.

Prolly not. If this guy was hopped up enough to ignore the face full of pepper spray they gave him first, the tazer would probably have had no effect on him.

The Taser does stuff to your nerve-muscle junction that you just can't ignore or go crazy through. From a Taser site:

The 50,000 volt Taser, with it's more powerful 18 to 26 watt pulse disrupts the central nervous system and directly controls the skeletal muscles causing an uncontrollable contraction of the muscle tissue. The EMD effect overrides voluntary muscle control, even among pain-tolerant, aggressive combatants. The subject will be quickly immobilized and on the ground.
