The police chief and the mayor of the city of Reform said that they were aware of the video and that the police department is turning over all materials related to the arrest to the State Bureau of Investigation.
An Alabama police officer is on leave after a video posted on social media showed her cursing at and using a stun gun on a man who was handcuffed and crying.
The video begins with a handcuffed man lying in the street as an officer with the Reform Police Department tells him to stand up. The officer then walks the man over to a car, the video shows.
Stay still,” the officer says as she pushes him against the hood of the car and holds her stun gun to his back.
“I ain’t doing s—, bro,” the man responds. “I got a gun right there.”
As the officer removes the gun from the man’s pants, she laughs and says, “Oh yeah!”
“What you saying ‘Oh, yeah’ for?” the man asks.
The officer responds by using her stun gun on the man, the video shows. “Shut the f— up,” she says.
The man starts crying. “OK, OK, OK,” he repeats. “Oh, my God.”
“You want it again?” the officer asks as the man continues to cry. “Shut the f— up. You was big and bad, shut your b—- a– up.”
The video then ends. It’s unclear what happened before or after the 45-second clip posted to Facebook, and the Reform Police Department has shared very little information about the incident on Saturday
