Alabama state senator wants to ‘punish bad apples’ in law enforcement

Earlier this month, a viral video circulated of a police officer in Reform, Alabama tasing a restrained man. While the officer has since been placed on administrative leave, some community leaders are calling for her termination from the department, as well as legal action against her personally for her alleged misconduct. State Sen. Merika Coleman, among those who saw the video, says she wants to pass a law that enables local district attorneys to charge a police officer who uses a taser in the line of duty attempting to subdue a suspect who is already restrained with a Class C Felony.
