I'm saying a low dose tranqualizer would subdue suspects much quicker and would take away the possibility of excessive use of force (whether intentionally or accidentally) by the police to subdue somebody.

50 lawsuits does not translate into proof that tasers cause death. And I also think you are incorrect in your statement about most cases being caused by cops being overzealous.
People have died here in Edmonton after being tased, and it's been concluded that the person died of excited delirium in all cases I know of.
Again, I'd bet more cops get tasered than bad guys, yet none have died from what I understand.
