Alabama police officer on leave after viral video shows her tasing handcuffed, compliant man
A police officer in Reform, Alabama, has been placed on administrative leave after a viral video showed her tasing a handcuffed and compliant man during a traffic stop.
I read the article, and it quoted her as having said "oh yeah" when he declared a weapon, and I thought "yeah that's not great, but I kinda get it" because I assumed the context was that she assumed he meant it as a mild threat perhaps and was responding with "oh yeah?" the way one would when being insulted or threatened...
Then I watch the video, and that's not the case at all... The tone implies something much more along the lines of "yippee, you got a gun, now I get to develop a sudden fear for my life and do THIS!... Yeehaw!"
She ain't intimidated or threatened, she just mentally busted through a brick wall holding a pitcher in her hand looking to have a tropical punch party, that was a koolade man "OH YEAH!"
Y'all cops need to come to Jesus and establish some fucking standards and enforce them, because what you got going with the paid vacation and taxpayers funding their own restitution is not gonna be indefinitely sustainable. You're filling a keg full of powder and one of these evil motherfuckers you keep turning a blind eye to is gonna throw a spark in the wrong place at the wrong time, and not even the bomb squad in their full staypuft costume is gonna qualify for immunity from the explosion it causes.
I don't think we need to go down that road, but a lot of people do, and cops like Ms koolade here arent making the opinion shrink...
Jesus doesn't make people better people. Wanting to be a better person makes people a better person.
The bitch just as likely goes to church as not.
It's just an expression :)
It means someone owes you an ass chewing kinda
My guess is she knew he was a felon before the stop. The "oh yea" feels like a cheer for "getting him." This whole thing feels like preexisting knowledge.
Like a habitual troublemaker that never really gets caught with anything solid, and firearm on parole is the long awaited "gotcha"?
I could see that being the reason for the exuberance actually. That's plausible. Could also explain the taser, frustrated with dealing with dudes shit for so long maybe...
You've added a shadow of a doubt I didn't have before. Good discourse :)
I hope this doesn't count as qualified immunity.
She stopped him from changing a tire because he was 'suspicious'. She deserves prison for assault, battery, wrongful arrest (there's no RAS, regardless of what she found after) and a hate crime.
Cruel acts by a human. Makes one wonder all of the atrocious acts that aren't on video.
If you think it's bad out there now, just imagine all the atrocities they gleefully committed and got away with prior to camera phones being everywhere. I'm not saying it shouldn't be better. I'm just saying it is likely better than it used to be now that everybody is recording everybody else all the time.
Oh no! A paid vacation where they'll find the officer did nothing wrong! What ever will she do...
What ever will she do…
Find a new job in a different police force for higher pay?
On leave?!?!! She should be in a cell!
We desperately need a third party review system with legitimate consequences.
Should be on call for those that want a dominatrix not assaulting innocent civilians
They’re going to use his record and the drugs and gun to paint him as a bad guy. She’ll probably keep her job.
Fucking shame, man. People like that shouldn’t ever make it onto the force to begin with.
What force do you imagine the police to be?! The one from your childhood, back when it was Rockwell fairy tale and shiny field trip stickers? They've always been a racist gang of corpo fucks; too stupid to make it through boot, and too psycho to hold any other job that doesn't award them the chance to assault/murder. ACAB. Fuck the police.
Well yeah, they put him on a half a million dollar bond for this. They're throwing the book at his character.
Oof. I didn’t see that part. Crazy man.
Least abusive cop.
Paid leave mind you
Man. Why can't we just have Andy and Barney.
Mayberry had no black residents. It was an all white town. Andy and Barney probably would have acted very different if a black man or woman came into town.
Also that was a TV show. I real life, small town cops are generally a bunch of power tripping fascists
He should have just compl- oh wait...
I hope she burns in hell, but even the devil rejects such evil people.
Someone needs to call the witch burners and show them to this woman.
biden is silent as always on the matter
just going to keep happening if ones in charge are not speaking out on this daily until something changes
I feel like she's gonna lose her job. There's not even any drugs in this situation, she's just pulling him over with a warrant to get one over him, and even if there was I doubt it would be worth much. Some people are just sadistic when given the opportunity
