Was he tazed 5 times in 6 minutes, or once to feel it?

Multiple times. Once to feel it and after that, you can go as long as you can do it or stop. Some guys were real macho men & kept asking for more while others stopped at 3 seconds & vowed to never do it again.

My neighbor is a cop (we call him "Cop-Neighbor" ) told us the same thing. He says that they went through this in training so that if they ever use the taser they can relate to the jury during trial what it is like to be hit. He still has a small burn mark from his (I think he has been on the job for 2 years - maybe 3 now).

We were watching some stupid redneck funny home videos (is it Country Fried Videos? Something like that on CMT I think...) -- anyways, it shows a cop who is supposed to be hit in the chest - instead the guy using the taser misses & hits his groin. My husband was almost in tears watching it, but we were laughing none-the-less.

But this has zero to do with the topic at hand - just reading this thread reminded me of that video.

Soldier on...

Mike still has his too. On his back & on his leg.
