it's absolutely insane that any taser used would be gun-shaped and operated with a similar trigger mechanism as that of a handgun.
this is a SERIOUS design flaw. if you carry a gun, your taser should NOT be shaped or activated like a gun.

handguns & tasers must have a significantly different form factor and mechanism of interaction.
one idea:
if you have to announce taser user prior to said use...
perhaps there should be a 'charging' button on the taser that gives an audible notification to prevent confusion?

And while I agree that any officer should be able to tell the difference between the two, keep in mind that no officer will have both in their hand at the same time, so comparisons between weapon weights aren't a valid point of differentiation.

Blaming the shooter is not a useful approach to address this issue _globally_ - to solve the problem, we ALL must acknowledge one thing:
people screw shit up. ALL the time.
When it comes to life + death, we have to build systems that obviate their chance to fail.

Yes, individual accountability is important.
But when you need to change a broken system, you need to think bigger picture - and you need to bring in people to design those systems who can help design new approaches that ignore prior traditions in favor of KEEPING PEOPLE ALIVE.
