Since you recognize that there are differences, I would like to focus on one of them that seems to me to be very important, and to read you this:
Current RCMP policy classifies the Conducted Energy Weapon as an “intermediate” device placing it in the same category as oleoresin capsicum spray. This classification permits use of the weapon for those situations where an individual is exhibiting behaviours that are deemed “resistant”, and not just “combative” or posing a risk of “death or grievous bodily harm” to the officer, themselves or the general public.
It was my understanding that you were more in the “combative” category.
