An Alabama police officer is on leave while authorities investigate a weekend arrest captured on video in Reform showing a handcuffed man being hit with a stun gun.
The video begins with a white female officer from the Reform Police Department in Pickens County ordering the Black man to “stand up” after he was handcuffed in the roadway in Pickens County.
She then tells him to lay down on the front of a vehicle, which he does face down.
The officer then holds a stun gun to the man’s back while she goes through his pockets. She tells him to “stay still” at which point he says, “I ain’t doing shit, bro. I got a gun right there.”
The officer laughs as she retrieves the gun and says, “Oh yea.”
She then deploys the stun gun directly into the man’s back, telling him to “shut the (expletive) up” as he screams.
The man then begins to cry, repeatedly saying, “Oh my God.”
The officer then says, “Do you want it again?” as the man continues to cry. “Shut your bitch ass up,’’ the officer says

Jesus, whoever writes the script for reality is done with subtlety.
I was going to say, that sounds like where Officer Coon, officer N**gerHater, and officer KeepDarkyDown work! (From a Bill Hicks routine, check it out!)
The complete and utter lack of humanity while she does it too, what a psycho, she really got off on that.
You can see her soaking it in.
Reform police Chief Richard Black and Mayor Melody Davis sent out a statement Monday acknowledging they are aware of the video involving a “citizen’s arrest” that took place on Saturday.
WTF is with the “citizen’s arrest” bullshit? She’s a cop ffs.
ACAB
They arrested a citizen. The phrasing is a bit confusing because the term “citizen’s arrest” usually refers to an ordinary citizen arresting another.

The job of police officer attracts psychopaths and sadists.
The job of police officer has gone to the supreme court to actively defend passing on actual, qualified candidates to who know the law, just so they can hire the lowest common denominators like this cop, too.
Hot damn, that’s terrible and national news worthy shit.
Just paid gang members
AMERICAN SYSTEM : Time to hire her in the next county, with a promotion ?
Or she’ll take a job with the Border Patrol.
Don’t forget correctional officer, they love these types.
Watch protectandserve and other such xommunitiea defend this shit.
Disgusting.
Apparently they called it a “citizens arrest”
I’m confused, anyone have an explanation as to how an office arresting someone can be a citizens arrest
I think they meant “citizen*'s* arrest” as in “arrest of a citizen”. Not a citizen doing the arrest, as in “citizens arrest” .
Oooh, what confusing wording but yea sounds right, thx
…except both you and the Chief have your apostrophe use backwards, and the way its used would be the arrest belonging to the citizen. So no.
Sadist pigs
Yeah… she’s overdue for the woodchipper.
eh, Sure, ya betcha.
I mean, even cops need a hobby, but this might be taking it a leeeeeeeetle too far. Num sayin?
Totally unrelated, but have you ever seen the movie Fargo?
Couple of times yeah. I quite like it.
wtf
It’s like a scene from a bdsm porn movie.fEw bAd aPpLes
Turns out the very apple itself is poison and they’re all “bad” from the poison being an unregulated union.
It’s weird how since George Floyd and Breonna Taylor, cops haven’t done anything mean to black people. No reason to have a protest/riot about police brutality since the problem got fixed!
The core issue is unions and police training. If they’re not trained to be professionals that approach everyone equally, then they won’t. And we can’t change the training until we abolish the unions, but I genuinely don’t know how we do that while also increasing professionalism across the board.
My thoughts on the matter are around salary. If we paid more, more quality people would want to be police officers and they would in turn rat out bad police officers for fear of losing a decent salary.
But cops get fraternity in lieu of pay and are expected to be ‘for the blue’ before anything else. This isn’t how it should be.
Tasers are effectively handheld torture devices. Put them in the hands of cops and it’s not surprising they’d be used that way.
