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.

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.
