Easy, mace and/or a taser. I have seen large adult men running in
circles, screaming like babies and running into trees after being
maced with the military stuff.

I have also seen guys who just got mad when they were pepper sprayed,
They don't use "Mace" anymore (CN or CS gas depending on the brand) it
is pepper spray now.

My former father in law (DC cop) said mace was only good to blind the
guy for a second so you could get in a couple good licks with your
night stick. ;-)

There's a reason that in the old days the image of a police officer was
a smiling, blue uniformed dude walking down the sidewalk twirling his
night stick.

I've mentioned before that I learned how effective a night stick can be
while standing Shore Patrol duty in the Navy. A quick blow to the shins
will drop just about anyone without causing any permanent damage.
