With a police baton, it can be swung, pushed, jabbed many times. With two hands it can be used as a block. Police Departments around the world have been using police batons for 150-years while the taser is a new tool. Don't discount the 26" police baton as an effective tool in this situation in Gilford. If one had been used instead of a taser, the results would be very different.
Another police tool is mace, that gets sprayed into the assailant's face.

With all the free time you clearly have, I suggest you spend some of it watching the YouTube channel called Donut Operator. There's plenty of content for you to get educated on.
It simple terms, batons don't create the sort of space that promotes officer safety.
