Accidental death by shooting is down where tasers are used.
In this case, it's very unlikely that guns would have been drawn so accidental shooting isn't likely.

Still, the student is fortunate to have been tasered, because the alternative would be to subdue him with physical force.
If they had chosen to use physical force, bruises, cuts, broken bones, etc. might result. As you can see from the video, he was able to walk and talk after the taser treatment, and there was no bleeding.

You're wrong about beating vs. taser. In a normal, healthy, young person (like this UCLA student) there is almost never damage from the shock. There is almost always damage from physical force.
