I'm pretty sure all cops get tased once before they get signed off by their departments to carry one; every cop I know who'se carried one says it sucks, but not bad enough to cause some of the hysterical reactions one sees in a lot of the dash-cam videos from police traffic stops that end in someone getting zapped.
P.S. I got an ASP that goes with me in my car everywhere; an extended, 2-hand model. I love it.

1) Are they really over-used? IN your jurisdiction, or others?
Not overused. The best tool LE has since, well, maybe EVER.
2) Do cops like them?
Cops LOVE, LOVE, LOVE them.
3) How well do they work?
They work great, especially against drunk/drugged/deranged offenders that OC, Batons and Pain Compliance. don't work on
4) How bad does it really suck to get tased?
It really really sucks, for a short time. The recovery come pretty quick.
