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 âstand upâ 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 manâs back while she goes through his pockets. She tells him to âstay stillâ at which point he says, âI ainât doing shit, bro. I got a gun right there.â
The officer laughs as she retrieves the gun and says, âOh yea.â
She then deploys the stun gun directly into the manâs back, telling him to âshut the (expletive) upâ as he screams.
The man then begins to cry, repeatedly saying, âOh my God.â
The officer then says, âDo you want it again?â as the man continues to cry. âShut your bitch ass up,ââ the officer says
ER nurses deal with far more criminals, mentally ill people and homeless people than any single cop because all the cops drop those people off at the ER when they donât want to deal with them.
And nurses still donât act like power-hungry monsters whenever they face those people.
Maybe the problem isnât the job, maybe the problem is the sort of people who would be willing to take the job.
