"The ASU ACLU screened BUSTED in the Student Union, and over 200 people came to see it. We actually had to turn people away from the event, because we maxed out capacity and, as it was, over 50 people were left standing for the duration of the film. Regardless, the crowd LOVED it." Ian Mance, Appalachian State University ACLU chapter president Advertisement

torture
Pepper spray actually incapacitates you - it actively stops you from resisting by causing closing of the eyes and difficulty breathing.
Tasers cause temporary paralysis and pain. The point being the pain, so that you will willfully comply afterwards, for fear of further taser action.
So I say, when you cause pain as a punishment or to convince someone to act in a certain way, that's torture. When you cause pain as a side effect of actually disabling someone, it's not torture.
I.e. pain does not equal torture.
