BREAKING: Insane Video Shows Tuscaloosa Police Pulling Guy From Apartment, Tasing, Beating Him
8 years ago

Details surrounding the below encounter with Tuscaloosa PD are sure to start leaking, but at this point, we have basically zero context.

What is apparent, however, is that the man seen being tased and beaten after getting ripped out of an apartment doesn’t appear to be resisting arrest. At all. According to the tweet, the police arrived due to a noise complaint. Again, though, we have no way of confirming the validity of this claim.

But damn.

At one point in the video, you can see the victim holding his hands up in an “I’m not fucking resisting” gesture as he is being tased. Soon after, the baton comes out (could be a flashlight – hard to tell) and he is taking a beating as the glow of the taser is still seen flickering.

A second video has emerged, as well, allegedly showing the beginning of the incident from inside the apartment.


We’ll update the story as details emerge.

UPDATE: Two more videos emerge.

The first video shows the extended version of the sequence of events leading up to the arrests. The second is from the perspective of the female in the video. She is recording as she’s slammed to the ground and cuffed.

UPDATE 2: Victim identified as Brandon Williford, a Sigma Chi at the University of Alabama.

Williford was charged with harassment, obstruction, and resisting arrest.

    LSU fans hack Bama PD financials bet their entire pension fund on a straight bet on LSU to win it all. Lost millions. Officers broke and enraged followed by attacking fraternity men all over campus.

    The initial arriving police really fucked up here. When dealing with a noise complaint they have the right to talk to the residents of the house and are under no circumstances allowed in unless given permission by the residents. Clearly that didn’t happen. I’m all for police and will defend them any chance I get but there’s just nothing to say here. This is just a huge cluster fuck all the way around

    Idk what went on before this was recorded but it was obviously severe enough to have 6 police officers at his front door. For all we know the kid could’ve been standing in his living room instigating the police hoping that would happen, because frat. Not.

      I didn’t see the first video until after I commented because it didn’t load….per usual, TFM. But, it’s a pretty simple concept…when a police officer is speaking to you, don’t be a fucking dickhead and only respond with “okay am I under arrest?”. Respect is a 2 way street. Blue lives matter.

        Go fuck yourself fella, he may have been being an asshole. But I can’t beat the hell out of someone for being an asshole to me, and neither can the police.

        Or maybe you have a right as a citizen to know if you’re under arrest and why? Yeah both sides should be more civil, but as an officer, you should be professionally trained as to how to calmly approach and defuse a situation. Grabbing, pulling, and shoving people shouldn’t be an instinct of officers when it’s not necessary. You are supposed to enforce the law, not attempt to become it

    I was a cop over the summer in DE and I can see a number of issues with this type of police procedure. 1) the officer should not have ever pulled the kid out of the apartment. To make an arrest, you have to be outside of the house/ property. 2) excessive beating of the guy when he had his hands up, not showing any resistance. That is brandishing a weapon and excessive force. 3) the fact that the police are using a taser without taser prongs is excessive and dangerous to the person being arrested. The reason why we use prong instead of pressing a taser against the skin or clothing is that so we don’t catch someone’s clothes on fire or cause 1st or 2nd degree burns on the skin. What they did is bullshit and the officers should be punished accordingly #fratlivesmatter

      Cops will claim probable cause and as such had the right to go in the house and then throw him out. They can say they saw a weapon in the house or some bullshit
      I wonder wtf this was about, maybe the bro fucked a cops daughter?

    This is pretty disturbing for three reasons
    1: in the first video when the officers tell the kid to roll over he does and then the start beating him
    2:in the third video they RIP him outta the house and he puts his hands on the wall of the other house in a submissive position as if about to be patted down, then they taze him
    3: Caroline’s fucking voice

      Agreed. The guy wasn’t screaming but she wouldn’t stop losing her mind. It definitely escalated the situation.
