Taser Controversy

Law enforcement continues to embrace the use of non-lethal Taser on uncooperative suspects. However, the term non-lethal somehow doesn't seem to fit the crime. The crime is that, Taser electrocution has been employed appox. 4,500 plus times since 2004, and has tragically resulted in over 500 needless deaths.
The Taser controversy continues to make the news, and the question that always seems to justify the means, stems from the argument that, Taser electrocution is appropriate when the night stick is not enough, and the gun is to much. There are numerous law suits pending against police in the courts at present time.
Whatever the argument, there are innocent people being brutally and systematically killed by police policies, and the controversy continues with no solution on the horizon.
