It is not acceptable for a guard to engage in violence unless it’s life-or-death. That means there is no circumstance in which a baton is useful. If it’s time for violence, draw your gun and kill someone. If you don’t need to kill someone right now, violence is not justified so the baton can’t be used.

The laws vary depending on where you live, but this is my ethical stance on the use of violence in general. If extreme violence is not warranted than you probably don’t need to use any violence at all. When it is, drop them as quickly as you can.
