They’re like “we only use them when there is absolutely no other safe option”. Two examples presented: a disabled student probably having some kind of meltdown and another “trying to escape after fighting with a security guard” which sounds like the cop probably picked a fight with him and the student was trying to deescalate (by getting the fuck outta there). In order for this to have worked to stop him running away, the cop would have had to tackle the kid first? Or is it enough to just barely touch them like playing tag.
On the down side, if the speculation about cops accidentally shocking themselves all the time were correct, we’d probably be finding out from these dorks. So they probably have a good trigger that doesn’t get activated unintentionally.
