Officers should avoid shocking a subject multiple times.
Dziekanski was shocked twice within a matter of seconds.
Following a Taser shock, a subject should be restrained in a way that allows him to breathe easily.
At one point four officers were on top of Dziekanski. Two officers knelt with their full weight on his neck and back.
The Taser Technology Review Final Report states "subjects who struggle with police are almost always restrained in a face-down position. If subjects are pinned down with a great deal of weight placed on their shoulders and back for a long period of time, it may hamper their ability to breathe rapidly enough."

Is there a point to all your links?
Look, people can die in police custody- this isn't the first and most certainly won't be the last. BUT, the vast majority are not harmed at all including those that are tasered, sprayed, hit with batons, and all other physical forms of restraint.
Maybe link some stories where the taser was used successfully- those would outweigh all the negative ones 1000 times over.
