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

the Reform Police Department in Pickens County

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.

[-] some_guy@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 11 months ago

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

[-] ikidd@lemmy.world 29 points 11 months ago

They arrested a citizen. The phrasing is a bit confusing because the term "citizen's arrest" usually refers to an ordinary citizen arresting another.

The job of police officer attracts psychopaths and sadists.

[-] A_Random_Idiot@lemmy.world 5 points 11 months ago* (last edited 11 months ago)

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.

[-] crazyCat@sh.itjust.works 52 points 11 months ago

Hot damn, that’s terrible and national news worthy shit.

AMERICAN SYSTEM : Time to hire her in the next county, with a promotion ?

[-] Nastybutler@lemmy.world 12 points 11 months ago

Or she'll take a job with the Border Patrol.

[-] Thassodar@lemm.ee 7 points 11 months ago

Don't forget correctional officer, they love these types.

[-] SuddenlyBlowGreen@lemmy.world 36 points 11 months ago

Watch protectandserve and other such xommunitiea defend this shit.

Disgusting.

[-] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 34 points 11 months ago

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

[-] Whattrees@lemmy.blahaj.zone 13 points 11 months ago

I think they meant "citizen*'s* arrest" as in "arrest of a citizen". Not a citizen doing the arrest, as in "citizens arrest" .

[-] NENathaniel@lemmy.ca 7 points 11 months ago

Oooh, what confusing wording but yea sounds right, thx

wtf
It's like a scene from a bdsm porn movie.

[-] dangblingus@lemmy.world 23 points 11 months ago

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!

Turns out the very apple itself is poison and they're all "bad" from the poison being an unregulated union.

[-] zik@lemmy.world 20 points 11 months ago

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

[-] DABDA@lemmy.world 16 points 11 months ago

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.
