A video has surfaced online depicting a white female Alabama police officer tasering a handcuffed Black man, leading to public outrage. The officer, employed by the Reform Police Department in Pickens County, is seen laughing while deploying a stun gun on the man, who faces a trafficking fentanyl charge. The officer instructs the man to stay still while searching him, and upon discovering a gun, she proceeds to tase him.
The man reacts with distress, prompting the officer to taunt him further. The Reform Police Department has placed the officer on administrative leave and is cooperating with the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation for a thorough inquiry into the incident.
