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

    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.
