Whereas being bodily thrown to the ground and possibly punched until subdued is so much better for the rest of your organs.

Are you saying the situation and following PR frenzy would be better if they had
brawled with the kid? A tazer means an exact, measurable amount of force is applied with each taze, and the shots (unlike punches) can be counted if the situation comes into question later. Imagine if Rodney King had been tazed, the incident would have been over very quickly, with no lasting damage to his body.
