It does not imply, it directly states.  I get where you're going with this, but I already addressed it in the post you just replied to.  A taser, unlike a baton, a kitchen knife or your feet, has literally one use.  While there could be incredibly egregious use of the taser, such as shooting the dart in someone's eye or drive stunning them until the battery is dry this is not what occurred here.  The use of the taser was egregious almost wholly because it was completely unwarranted.  The taser should never have been deployed but it was not used outside of its normal function.  Hence Howard is painting himself into a corner here.

What does "it" refer to? The Georgia statute? The charge against the officers?

I don't see how "one use" makes a difference here. All of the tools mentioned were made for "one use." All can be used for other things.
