Indeed. The problem with such supposed 'non-lethal' weapons as Dazzlers, Tasers, rubber bullets, etc is that they can absolutely cause permanent injury. In the case of Tasers and rubber bullets, they've both killed lots of people - they just aren't 'designed to kill' so they can arguably remain legal to use. Tasers are also convenient torture/punishment devices. The militarization of law enforcement means that such devices end up being deployed domestically under much looser (or no) terms of engagement versus a 'lethal' weapon like a gun.
