Tasering is done for the same reasons that the cops shoot at subjects. It
is 
a resort left for when the subject will not cooperate and is harmful to
the 
cops, themselves or others. Would you rather get tased or shot? Because if

you are evading arrest or putting others in danger, that's what will
happen. 
Cops don't go around tasering individuals because they're playing 
judge/jury.
