In the '60s, police carried small tools called a "sap". Mine consisted of a leather handle with a larger pouch filled with lead shot. It was used as a non-lethal "persuader" with reluctant individuals to control a physical situation. Very useful if the individual was under the influence of drugs or alcohol, thus rendering him or her dull to physical persuasion.
