What I don't understand is how a nunchuck is a control weapon rather than an impact weapon.  Does anyone know?

You can use that chain/cord to wrap and control, or to break like a nutcracker.  Also, there are various kubotan-like techniques that can be done with the sticks.  Proper use in combat scenarios is quite interesting to watch.

Pretty much anything from a rock to a rope can be used as a 'compliance' tool, but it doesn't mean it's suitable for the job at hand.

I forsee a lot of cops in the department with self-inflicted injuries.

If cowardly and dishonorable men sometimes shoot unarmed men with army pistols or guns, the evil must be prevented by the penitentiary and gallows, and not by a general deprivation of a constitutional privilege.

This is exactly the reason why I have not bought a zombie katana like Michonne on TWD.  I am pretty sure that I would either (a) lop off my left leg; or (b) slice the cat in half; or (c) both at the same time.

Like option b would be a bad thing?

I can remember the San Diego police using nunchaku since the early 1990s. I am not sure if they still use them or not.

Ultra, meth addict stupid on steroids.
 Takes a tremendous amount of training, can inflict lethal impact much easier than a nightstick, (the leverage is hugely increased) and is one more thing for the cops to have to tote around.

The list of blunt weapons less suited to law enforcement work than nunchuks is very short.

About the only use I have seen for nunchucks in the police arena is wrapping them around an extremity (normally wrist) and by varying the pressure making a very effective come along/compliance tool.

I wish the Ring had never come to me. I wish none of this had happened.

So do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given to us. There are other forces at work in this world, Frodo, besides the will of evil. Bilbo was meant to find the Ring. In which case, you also were meant to have it. And that is an encouraging thought

The nunchuck (or num-chunks, which is the preferred pronunciation) was an element conspicuously absent in Kung Fury.

....
Could be very effective if used in a certain way.
Could be good for public relations.
It would be pretty hard for BLM/Jackson/Sharpton/Obama (see what I did there?) to make a serious case the next time the police give a meth head a beatdown with wiffle bats.
