An Alabama police officer has been placed on leave after a video showed her arresting a handcuffed man and hitting him with a stun gun.
The unidentified cop, from the Reform Police Department in Pickens County, was seen on camera swearing at a black man while he was handcuffed on Saturday.
District Attorney Andy Hamlin said the man, wearing a white t-shirt, gray sweats and a baseball hat, was being arrested on a trafficking fentanyl charge.
The female police officer shouts at the cuffed man to get down and lie on the front of the vehicle, with his face down.
As she begins to go through the man's pockets, she holds a stun gun to his back.
With his body lying against the front of the car, the police officer tells him to 'stay still.'
The man then responds: 'I ain't doing s**t, bro. I got a gun right there.'
The laughing officer grabs the gun that is in the handcuffed man's pocket, before saying 'oh yeah,' and deploying the stun gun into his back.
She screams: 'Shut the f**k up.' The man can be heard whimpering and crying as he repeatedly says in pain: 'Oh my God.'
The cop continues, saying: 'Do you want it again?' He cries, as she says: 'Shut your b***h a** up.'
Reform police Chief Richard Black and Mayor Melody Davis said they were aware of the video, which has circulated on social media.
They called it a 'citizen's arrest' and confirmed it took place on Saturday.

That looks kind of phony.
30 years ago those types ran nursing homes and daycare. It’s nice to see them branch out and touch our lives every day.
That looks kind of phony.

It’s a Daily Mail article. It’s VERY phony.
She was able to take down an out of control felon who lacked impulse control.
I cannot forget the small rookie police officer a few years ago who said from her hospital bed “The reason I hesitate to fire my weapon before he shot me was I didn’t want to become the next anti-cop newspaper headline.”
We have a female cop like that here. Couldn’t stand her. Very bad attitude and a zealot. Would get you for the most minor infraction because she had to “prove herself”.
Now she’s been promoted to detective. 🙄
C-word.
IF what actually happened bears any resembles reality in any way, the individual should never have been a cop regardless of sex. Inflicting harm on a helpless suspect already restrained is inexcusable.
The shocks went in his back and discharged thru his pecker to the metal hood. Poor guy.
I was being charitable.
This is what “Power Tripping” looks like.
Women can have Napoleon Complexes too; (aka Angelina Jolie).
She’s very lucky this wasn’t some other kind of man who may decide to flip the script and fight back in any way he can.
She borders on showing sadistic pleasure while inflicting unnecessary pain. Maybe that’s how her Mom used to treat her during childhood, with no respect. “Do you want some more? Then, STFU!!!”
Something something little woman cop something deadly force something about how somebody likes big muscular cops de-escalation OH MY GOODNESS I LOVE YOU MADAME OFFICER WHOEVER YOU ARE I LOVE YOU I LOVE YOU SO.
The cop became irate when he shouted “Roll Tide”.
Agreed
She look-a-like a man.
Oh, board up all store windows.
> A tiny woman cop, when facing a big muscular man, is quicker to resort to weapons and even deadly force than is a big, muscular male cop. <
I remember reading an article about this when women cops were first being hired in large numbers. The author said that because of their training and equipment, physical strength wouldn’t be necessary.
It was a poor argument then. It’s a poor argument now.
Good points. That’s what is common sense policing. Too bad we’ve lost it…common sense, that is.
Nice haircut.
