why aren’t tranquilizer guns used on humans during stand-offs

Like, instead of tasers, live ammunition, etc, why isn’t there some sort of investment in making tranquilizer guns to incapacitate criminals?

Everyone saying cops don’t do it because of the medicine not existing have no idea what they are talking about. Cops use ketamine literally all the time to subdue subjects. They just use normal needles cause flying needles aren’t the best. They are hard to aim, must be pretty close to the target, most dart guns you get one shot then have to reload, etc. The easiest thing for them is just have 2 cops hold you while they jam you full of a bunch of ketamine and then fight you for another minute till you can’t physically fight anymore.

People do die from it and yeah cops or the emts that administer it get away with it 90% of the time and day the person had a prior health condition.
