An Alabama police department has placed an officer on administrative leave after she was filmed using a stun gun on a man who was already handcuffed.

“What you saying ‘Oh, yeah’ for?’” he asks. The officer then fires her stun gun into his back repeatedly and tells him to “shut the fuck up.”

Active Retention System Duty Holster for the TASER X-26 and X2. This new design incorporates our detachable Belt Loop, so that officers can exchange the TASER between shifts without having to remove other items from the duty belt. Also fits all SERPA platforms, including duty belt loops, MOLLE, shoulder and tactical thigh platforms. The cross draw or offside hand draw design, rocking out of holster, versus traditional straight up handgun draw, help prevent confusing weapons under stress and the holster is even designed to automatically engage the safety when re-holstering the TASER. The holster is designed to stabilize the TASER even with the optional camera unit attached and the holster bottom is configured to block the probes in case of activation within the holster. The trigger and trigger guard are completely enclosed while the TASER is holstered.

At a rally for Washington on Monday, his mother, Toris, urged Black mothers to have conversations with their sons about “situations like this,” according to ABC 33/40 in Birmingham.
