As for the recommendation that they should only be used in lethal force or GBH encounters, I would hope that any trained police officer would find his/her taser faaaaaaar down the list behind his/her firearm in such a situation.

From my understanding of the recommendations was a simple move from Resistant behavoir to combative. But I agree like I posted above that if it is only intended for death or GBH then there is no point in having it.
