Nothing will ever be perfect. I have read in the past about how rools like tasers have saved countless hospital visits by perps and police. Undoubtedly without tasers a lot more people would have been killed than by accident like this.

 
 I think I read where it has happened 18 times. Not all fatalities.

True. If people are involved mistakes can and will be made. We should still try to minimize our mistakes. Which is easier if there is time to pause and think through what we do. Not so much in a fast moving situation.

I'm suggesting that their side arm and their taser probably shouldn't be holstered next to each other to make muscle memory different for drawing each of them. Might not eliminate the problem but it's worth seeing if it reduces it.

Right and the victim was the one who created the situation where there was no time to think.
He could have been jumping in the car to get a gun. Which IMO is why the cop should have drawn a gun instead of the taser.

They are not next to each other they are on the left and right hip.

I'm not a cop so I wasn't aware of that. Maybe don't holster the taser on the hip (chest rig or something, idk).

Do all police departments do that??
Yes I believe most all of them do. A right handed cop wears the taser on the left so that requires a totally different move to draw it as opposed to their pistol.
