These days, on the news, we hear about police using tazers to restrain people.
The police know that a taser will not kill people (while a gun does)(tasers have actually killed *some* people) so whenever they are in a situation that they deem even slightly unsafe, or are confronted with a situation they don't know how to handle, they use it.
Many studies such as:

show that Tasers are actually dangerous.
