If there's no need to taser someone and they can arrest them without doing so then they will.
It's not just a game of let's go around tasering people for the fun of it

You would think so , yet people with mental health issues have been WRONGLY tasered . And surely this bloke could have been tackled to the ground without being TASERED, it was 2 against 1. He had a screwdriver ( which yes is still a weapon) ,but it's not
the same as having a knife or gun.
Once you kill someone with a taser then that's it . That's why surely TASERS should only be used if it's absolutely necessary. Don't they use batons & pepper spray anymore?? .
