The company that produces Tasers, now called Axon Enterprise, told Reuters last year that only 24 people had died from its devices.

Reuters obtained autopsy findings for 712 of the 1,005 deaths it documented. In 153 of the cases, "Taser was cited as a cause or contributing factor in the death, typically as one of several elements triggering the fatality," according to the news organization.

Tasers, also known as stun guns, were hailed as an innovation in policing when they were introduced to police departments around the country in the early 2000s. Tasers are designed to produce a low-level shock that temporarily immobilizes someone, making it easier to apply handcuffs. Once heralded as “nonlethal,” Tasers are now marketed as “less-lethal” — less likely to result in death than guns.

When an officer pulls the trigger, two wires with probes on the ends are released and become embedded in the person’s body. Each trigger pull results in a 5-second burst of electricity. Holding down the trigger results in a continuous flow of electricity.

A training guide disseminated by the state’s Law Enforcement Standards Board states that electronic control devices should be used primarily if someone is actively resisting, which “involves a subject who is physically counteracting an officer’s control efforts — under circumstances in which the behavior itself, the environment in which the behavior occurs, or officer/subject factors create a risk of bodily harm.”

Milwaukee Bucks rookie Sterling Brown plans to file a civil suit against Milwaukee police officers who tased him in January. Here are some other incidents in which people have complained about excessive Taser use:

Axon's training materials recommend, among other things, that officers give someone “a reasonable opportunity to comply before force is used or repeated,” and to “be able to justify every … trigger pull or 5 seconds of discharge under the specific circumstances presented.”

Earlier this month, Milwaukee Police officers were criticized for the violent arrest of Demetrious Lowe, 25 who ignored their orders and punched them repeatedly. Police later said he appeared to be experiencing a mental health episode.

Witness video circulated widely on social media showing a swarm of officers punching and kicking Lowe once he was on the ground. At one point, police appeared to use a Taser on him. The man later was charged with three felony battery counts.

Guidelines by the Police Executive Research Forum state that "exposure longer than 15 seconds (whether continuous or cumulative) may increase the risk of serious injury or death and should be avoided."

The family of Adam Trammell recently filed a civil suit against police in the Village of West Milwaukee who tased him repeatedly. He later died.

But Reuters uncovered "1,005 incidents in the United States in which people died after police stunned them with Tasers." The news organization noted that "it's impossible to know precisely what role the Taser played in many of the deaths."

In 2014, a supervisor at the House of Correction was suspended after delivering a drive stun with a Taser to the left wrist of a mentally ill 22-year-old woman, who was alone inside a segregation cell at the time.

The devices also can be placed flush against the skin in what is known as a "drive stun." This causes pain rather than temporary paralysis and is used to get people to follow officers' commands.

Taser use had been declining among Milwaukee police officers, but rose sharply in 2016. It declined slightly in 2017. The Taser increase came as Milwaukee police officers used their guns less frequently.
