they can't know if someone has a heart condition. this should be also covered in training. they should only use it in extreme situations...not when someone flings a chair around.

The voltage at which tazers operate are more than enough to be lethal.  The idea is that the two prongs discharge close together so that they don't discharge through the heart.  However, if multiple tazers are in operation it is entirely possible for there to be enough current to stop the heart.  And there's nothing to say that the prongs won't be in just the right place to discharge through the heart.

This is also true, but there is no need for the current to traverse the heart. There are a number of nerve centers in the body, which interrupting, could have a similar effect. There is an extreme danger in discharging multiple Tasers on one person, simultaneously. This is well known.

I can't imagine police training leaving this important detail out.

Seems that they don't want anyone seeing the video of what happened.  A bystander recorded it, and handed the camera to the police on the promise that everything would be returned within 48 hours, but they switched the memory stick for a new one and kept the one with the footage on it, which they aren't making public:

Now in Utah for a traffic stop for not signing the ticket and asking questions you get tasered  :grrr:
Quote
(CBS/AP) Authorities are expediting an investigation of a state trooper who zapped a motorist with a Taser after video of the incident was posted on YouTube, the Utah Highway Patrol said Wednesday.

"It definitely put a little bit of conflict out there. We definitely have received a lot of feedback on it, calls and e-mail," said Trooper Cameron Roden, a spokesman for the highway patrol.
 
This is what the guy said about how it felt
Quote
"Fear, panic - it's the scariest moment of my life," he said. "I get tasered, and I hit the ground, and I really, to be honest with you, thought that my life was ending. It's the most horrific thing that's ever happened to me."
