    No tasering someone who’s already been pepper-sprayed? Hadn’t heard that before. Is pepper-spray flammable? Or is it a worry using two different shocks to the system in a short time?

      Some are. An allied agency (fancy term for agency you may assist) used an alcohol based pepper spray. Nobody knew until a person caught fire. After that it was banned for anyone pepper sprayed just to be safe.
