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.

I would say it's all because of extreme cases. Not sure what you mean by the examples you gave there of a shooting and a pepper spray incident.

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.

In comparison to how many times the taser is deployed, I would say that there aren't as many cases as you seem to think.
Not sure what basis you form the opinion that it is being used incorrectly or too frequently.
