Tasers a form of torture.

Now I was of the belief that the principal purpose of these 'weapons' was to immobilise those people constituting a serious threat of harm to others, beit the general public or those in law enforcement, rather than resorting to the use of weapons with considerably greater consequence such as has occurred here with issued side-arms (the glock).
One would presume that the UN will not be happy until those with the responsibility of protecting the public, stop when confronted, quickly estimate body weight and use a tranquilliser dart ... oh, but this still wont get around potential pre-existing cardiac conditions.

"The use of these weapons causes acute pain, constituting a form of torture,'' the UN's Committee against Torture said. ... its use can have a grave physical and mental impact on those targeted, which violates the UN's Convention against Torture, the experts said.
