Tazer gun's

What next? A man has died after being shot with tazer / stun gun's by police in Australia. But he had to be shot 28 times! This has caused human rights groups etc to question their safety? But surely if he had to be shot 28 times then he was seriously resisting arrest? Who would really want to have that number of electric shocks for fun? And, consider the alternative. If the police felt the need to tazer him, the other option was to shoot him with a standard hand gun. Maybe it's just me but he would have died with fewer that 28 bullets in him!
