b/c there's ~200 documented cases of people dying as a result of their use.
first and foremost, how many people have ever been tasered? When every cop in training gets tasered as part of training 2oo doesn't seem like a big deal at all.

but were these people all of relatively good health? Did they have any pre-existing conditions that were aggravated by the taser that could have been aggravated by some other form of force used. I hate to pull this argument but how many people have died because the police put the guy in a controlled chokehold and the guy dies. Is it really necessary that the police do everything with their bare hands?
This'll change your mind:
