Tazer, pepper spray, bear spray, plastic bullets, baton, bean bag shots, etc. But 99% of US cops go straight for the handgun, every time, regardless of the threat. It's great if you're a cop, but many suspects are getting shot dead when alternatives were never even considered, let alone engaged.
What a country.
