I believe most police departments consider tasers to be non-lethal.

Actually that is not true. A taser to the heart can kill a person. Plus, the idiot DA said not more than 2 weeks ago that a taser IS considered a lethal weapon in GA.

Cops use tasers in many situations that do not call for deadly force. Admittedly there is inconsistency in classifying them. I was taught that the PR-24 side handle baton could be considered deadly force if applied to the offender’s cranium, but wasn’t if used as we were trained.

He's wrong. By Georgia law it is considered a non-lethal weapon.
