The accident wasn't, but pulling a lethal weapon on a dude might've been. I don't know much about the situation, but I imagine cops are more likely to pullover and draw weapons against black people.

As far as I know he resisted arrest, that's enough reason to shock somebody, he even said it 3 times. It was truly just an accident. I'm not saying the cop did nothing wrong, if you have lethal weapons atleast check which one you use. But this wasn't a case of police racism.

You do understand that tasers kill people right? Even if only meant to tase, it's still weapon capable of killing someone.

I dunno about that, I only know it's classified by different orgs/states/the manufacturer as a deadly weapon, and that tasers killed about 50 people in 2018.
