Nope, nonlethal weapons (tasers, pepper spray, etc.) are the first resort as soon as someone appears not to be complying.

That's some scary stuff, i had no idea the police were allowed to use such things in such a manner, especially dealing with something like a peacefull protest, and used in such a hap hazard manner......still very shocking to see.
