I guess I'm kind of a bleeding heart that way, but I just think they have to start looking into alternatives, or else it should get the point where a cop shooting someone with a taser would be considered the same as pulling a gun on someone.

I completely agree with you, police should just go back to shooting these a-holes. That will result in less deaths, oh wait...
I'd like to see the stats on how many people get tased per year that don't die. We always hear about the one guy that did but I'm sure they are in the extreme minority. I still think the taser is a much better alternative to getting shot, you would see that 20 people in 5 years number skyrocket.
