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
How many bad eggs are we up to now? I seriously see articles every single day about cops abusing, violating and torture people.
To be fair: there are enormous amounts of police officers in the US, more even woord wide. Seeing a hundred abuse visors feels like an extreme amount, but in reality is about a tiny about of police officers.
Granted, the percentage of abusive officers I. The US is way higher than in other countries but it would do you well to remember that many, maybe even most, are pretty straight shooters (pun intended) who want to make the world a little better but also just have a job and a family to come home to afterwards…
This would be more comforting if it seemed like there were efforts to remove these abusive cops from the force. Instead, all too often we hear of them getting put on paid leave while their “investigation” goes nowhere, or rarely they’ll get fired, just to immediately start working in the next county over.
The job of police officer attracts psychopaths and sadists.
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.

Fucking beautiful Muricaaaaaaa!! “proud eagle noises”
Sadist pigs
Hot damn, that’s terrible and national news worthy shit.
wtf
It’s like a scene from a bdsm porn movie.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
Yeah… she’s overdue for the woodchipper.
The reason these people behave such a way is they deal with all kind of shitty people day in day out. They reach the point where there’s no humanity left in them and they look at the the same way. I don’t blame cops, the work itself is shitty. No matter if you put even Gandhi in police force after 3-4, years he’ll become Gaddafi.
Lots of people have shitty jobs. Most of us wouldn’t blow off a little steam by torturing a handcuffed person?
You’re a fucking dope.
OMG! Bro most shitty jobs doesn’t require you to deal with criminals.
Nurses deal with criminals, mentally ill, homeless, and people resisting their help for 12 hours a shift on weekdays, weekends, and nights. They don’t go crazy on people.
You’re comparing apple to oranges.
ER nurses deal with far more criminals, mentally ill people and homeless people than any single cop because all the cops drop those people off at the ER when they don’t want to deal with them.
And nurses still don’t act like power-hungry monsters whenever they face those people.
Maybe the problem isn’t the job, maybe the problem is the sort of people who would be willing to take the job.
