Alabama police officer caught on video using stun gun on handcuffed man: ‘Do you want it again?’
The Reform police officer is on leave while authorities investigate the weekend arrest.
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.
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.

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.
wtf
It's like a scene from a bdsm porn movie.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.
fEw bAd aPpLes
Turns out the very apple itself is poison and they're all "bad" from the poison being an unregulated union.
Tasers are effectively handheld torture devices. Put them in the hands of cops and it's not surprising they'd be used that way.
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 Pickens County Jail identifies the man as 24-year-old Micah Johnson
I thought that name seemed familiar, https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/2016_shooting_of_Dallas_police_officers
Motive: Backlash to police brutality
Be a real shame for history to repeat itself.
Don't worry, all those good guys with a gun will protect us from tyrants.
Well, good luck being a good guy with a gun trying to stop this kind of tyranny...
I'm trying to figure out who was recording this
Fucking beautiful Muricaaaaaaa!! "proud eagle noises"
why is this news again?
is anyone in charge going to care or go on national broadcast in outrage and or demand citizens protest?
why do we keep having to reread these articles with no conclusion?
seeing these articles use to make me feel something but now just makes me want to see comics and weather instead of news repeats that never show the ending
yes we might see he got fired or maybe something but it will not be a nation wide fix
and no voting is not an answer when people like myself are not allowed to participate
If we want improvement, we all gotta do more than just vote. Donate time or money to local politics, write letters, run for office, or something else.
Because even though people often won't be held accountable for their actions, we should collectively make it as difficult as possible for such scum to sweep their evil deeds under the rug.
or demand citizens protest
Were you living under a rock in 2020 or what?
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.
I'm glad we can find ways to defend these poor officers who literally get away with murdering kids!
Break out your bingo cards everyone!
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.
