How about a 'kick' action - with a verb and, naturally, a hotkey combination, eg. shift+click, only usable while standing, which is effectively the same as picking up the item and throwing it 7 squares away in a 45° cone of your facing direction.
So effectively, the officer workflow would be stunning the person and then immediately kicking away the weapon if they don't want to take it.
Secondly, I propose that stun batons also apply the 'tased' effect that the taser does for the exact duration of the stun and no longer.
Thirdly, this is a thing that came up several times, and I probably know which bunch is the reason it's never actually been implemented, but I don't think harmbatoning should stun. The harm baton probably doesn't even hurt any more than a fire extinguisher straight to the face so I never actually saw the point of that particular behaviour.
