I don't think ALL officers are aware of the severity of some of the outcomes. I still think they are being used too often and in situations where they don't need to be. Yes some of this is because of extreme cases that are popularized, but I say the same thing about an officer shooting a person nine times, or pepper spraying a protester at UBC.

The fact that we are seeing SO many cases where the use of a taser is questioned seems to suggest that they are being used incorrectly or too frequently.
