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!)
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.
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 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.
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.
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.
I think that’s deliberate; the chief and mayor know exactly what those terms mean, even better than we do.
One way to confuse people who don’t know much about a subject is to insert extraneous information and unnecessary detail, and frankly I think that’s why they said it the way they did. It serves to confuse the otherwise extremely clear picture of what happened by making it sound like there was a third party involved, or that the arrest gone wrong started with civilians or something, rather than it being a simple matter of one person of color, one taser, and one cop seriously getting off on causing him pain without cause.
Just paid gang members
Hot damn, that’s terrible and national news worthy shit.
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.
