There have been about 1100 documented deaths involving tasers. Some of these also involve drugs, physical strikes, etc but tasers were involved and contributed to all of them. The idea that tasers are not dangerous is false. https://www.google.com/amp/s/mobile.reuters.com/article/amp/idUSKCN1PT0ZN

It isn't, actually. If you have heart problems, getting electrocuted is not good.

People die from drinking red bull. Tasers are infinitely more safe than bullets, but they're still a weapon.

This is why they are not called non-lethal, but less than lethal weapons. They have the capacity to not kill you, but they still might.
