I'm suggesting that the use of non-lethal force tactics like Tasers, beanbag rounds, etc. displays a lack of intent to kill. People can die during pursuit or arrest without it being because police used unreasonable force; this site doesn't distinguish between reasonable and unreasonable force or between deliberate, negligent, or purely accidental death.

1000 people killed by police in the US this year.
Twice as many people die by drowning.
Three in a recent week (10/20-26) were attributed to Taser.
I'm curious to see if they start counting suspect deaths resulting from high-speed chases of fleeing felons.
Are you suggesting that if the police tase someone to death it shouldn't count.
