What would be a good, solid reason to ban Tasers?

I am not looking for opinions, I just want a good, solid reason to ban tasers for the research essay that i am writing. I already have 2 out of the three I need. I have the fact that they cause adverse health effects and sometimes they are used to torture people. If anyone can help me, I would be very grateful. Again, I am NOT looking for opinions, I just need a solid reason to ban tasers for my research paper.

Because bullets are much more effective at stopping someone. More people die from being shot by police than being tasered.

They kill many more people than Taser says. Tasers have been proven in real use that they are not a non-lethal weapon.

People, INNOCENT people have DIED. Here is a link with news stores about deaths and abuse:

Too many police use a taser as punishment or a coercive device on unarmed, non-threat individuals, some of whom died as a direct result. I can see using one on someone who IS a threat. Probably the worst case of abuse and death I have heard about can be found here, a polish immigrant who died at the Vancouver BC airport in Canada October 15th, 2007:

There are ZERO Valid reasons to ban tasers. They are like any other tool and can be misused in some hands
