Police have killed more than 1,000 with Tasers since 2000
Almost all 18,000 police departments in the U.S. issue their officers Tasers, or stun guns, as a non-lethal alternative to subdue people they might see as a threat.

Peter Eisler, who co-reported the series, joins Hari Sreenivasan from Washington.
