I think my problem with this is I see a tazer as a nice option prior to pulling the handgun. If you can't pull the handgun, then you probably shouldn't be pulling the tazer either.
They are called less lethal instead of non lethal for a reason.

I like the idea of LEOs having a tazer as an option prior to going to a firearm. They are less lethal, but based on how incapacitated you are after being hit with one I would not take it lightly. Someone (non LEO) coming at me with a tazer - I would have to assume that responding with deadly force would be warranted due to me not being able to defend myself at all if they get that shot off.
Now, with that said, I would like to see tazers used before more deadly force in order to subdue suspects that need subduing. To use a tazer to enforce compliance in a situation like this just ain't right (assuming the facts as presented here).
