What about a non-violent non-compliance where it's still too risky to attempt even non-lethal force? For example, what if a person gets out of their car holding a baby?

Tasers and pepper spray would probably not be considered non-lethal against babies. Cops would be expected to show restraint I think. But I'm speculating.
