His findings are classic lawyer jibberish. What situation is allowed for their application. That kind of thinking doesnt take in real world scenarios. Looking through everything with a microscope afterwards is easy, dealing with them while they happen is there the situation tends to be more murky. Will this judge take responsibility if a situation didnt warrant a taser and something happens to the cop.

For the majority of the time, Tasers are used because someone is being an ass who shouldnt. In public if you see someone getting away with stuff and the police bring out ye olde taser manual to check to see if the situation warrants you could have a larger problem on your hands. If the cops taser the trouble maker its likely others arent going to start.

Its unfortuante when people die from Tasers but 99% of the time I believe its warranted (the use of Tazers, not necessarily the death).
