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
Tasers are effectively handheld torture devices. Put them in the hands of cops and it’s not surprising they’d be used that way.

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!)
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.

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.
Fucking beautiful Muricaaaaaaa!! “proud eagle noises”
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
Watch protectandserve and other such xommunitiea defend this shit.
Disgusting.
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.
Just paid gang members
Just watched the video, and what the actual fuck!? She’s clearly getting off on this. Poor guy isn’t resisting in any way and she starts to stun him after bending him over the car. Thank God this was recorded and happened during the day. Otherwise she would have gone much further.
Edit: Grammar and wanted to add. Look at her face during the whole encounter! This is 100% a power kink and I’m 98% sure she’s a Sexual Predator. Not trying to make light of this in any way but it’s obvious she enjoys hurting others in a sadist kind of way. The way she says, “oh Ya” when finding his gun, Alabama has lax concealed carry laws. (why act like he violated some capital crimes?!) This man is at least 6’2 and strong. No way she overpowers him if he wanted to hurt her. Stunning someone on the spine is extremely dangerous and painful.
Edit:
GrammerGrammar, and wanted to add :Thank God this was recorded and happened during the day.
Let’s see if she actually faces any consequences for it. It seems like getting video of cops blatantly abusing their power doesn’t make much of a difference way too often.
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.
Wow, that went past licking the boot, straight to taking it to the hilt.
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.
Oh not to mention the fact that the cops have a safer job then nurses, get paid more, get issued weapons and a car. In fact I would say the average retail worker has to deal with more criminals per shift (going on number of people interacted vs the % of criminals in the population) and have little to no tools other then de-escalation. I guess since cops hang out with each other they do deal with more assholes though…
Look at the actual list of “most dangerous jobs.”
Police are nowhere near the top 10.
And you are comparing assholes to normal people. The assholes being the people who torture others, cops or otherwise, and normal people being people who don’t.
Which category do you fall under?
The fact that they’re doubling down on this stance really says it all
“Their job is hard sometimes, so that’s why its okay for them to torture people.”
Shut the fuck up.
I am not saying its okay but I know why they behave in such a way
I don’t blame cops
I hope it is acceptable to you that I read that in the voice of Samuel L. Jackson.
Break out your bingo cards everyone!
I’m glad we can find ways to defend these poor officers who literally get away with murdering kids!
I don’t think you’re wrong. It doesn’t make their actions excusable, but it does make me wonder if there’s something we can do at the societal level to make their jobs less… dehumanizing. I’m also gonna be that guy and point out the irony that the people who are so bent on fixing systemic oppression at the societal level are the same ones who treat cops as if they’re all evil individuals operating in a vacuum and wanna “defund the police.” Like ok… then what. Victimization is a drug for these people.
Obviously police work is going to attract narcissists and sociopaths, and obviously there will always be an abuse of power at play. We need practical laws and regulations to keep them in check. And we definitely need to stop letting them investigate themselves lol.
It would probably be a big help if they actually bothered to train Police officers properly in the US. An average of 21 weeks of training – especially with more focus on firearm training than deescalation – is not enough for a job that often involves lethal force.

Turns out the very apple itself is poison and they’re all “bad” from the poison being an unregulated union.
I’m trying to figure out who was recording this
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.
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.
