An officer in Reform, Alabama, has been placed on leave after she was captured on video using a stun gun on a handcuffed man and telling him to 'shut the f**k up' before threatening to use it on him again.

An Alabama police officer was placed on leave as authorities investigate a weekend arrest in the town of Reform.

The incident was caught on camera, and showed a Black man being detained by a white female officer from the Reform Police Department.


She told him to "stand up" after handcuffing him, then motioned for him to lie face down on the front of a car, which he did. The cop searched his pockets while holding a stun gun on his back.

After she told him to stay still, he responded, "I ain't doing sh*t, bro. I got a gun right there."

She removed his gun and slid it across the hood of the car, then told him to "shut the (expletive) up" and shot the stun gun straight into his back.

The man started to cry and yell, "Oh my God."

The officer said, "Do you want it again?" As the man cried, she said, "Shut your b*tch ass up."

The video quickly spread across social media.

In a statement released on Monday, Reform police Chief Richard Black and Mayor Melody Davis said they were aware of the footage.

"The department is in the process of turning over all materials related to this arrest to the Alabama State Bureau of Investigation and has requested a thorough investigation into the circumstances surrounding the arrest."
