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.

    The complete and utter lack of humanity while she does it too, what a psycho, she really got off on that.

    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.

      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 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.

    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” .

    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!
