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

Drugging a human into unconsciousness without literally killing them is hard enough in a medical office with a trained professional with medical equipment and a willing participant. (I’m talking about general anaesthesia here.)
Trying to do that against someone who is unwilling, hostile, and hasn’t had a medical work-up isn’t just unfeasible, it’s unrealistic – and that’s before accounting for the fact that drugging a person into unconsciousness usually takes several minutes. That’s usually several minutes too long for most scenarios where “just shoot them, lethally” is an otherwise reasonable option.
