3 Ala. Officers Suspended After Stun Gun Arrest Video

Three Alabama police officers were suspended with pay Monday after videos shared online showed officers dragging three people out of an apartment, NBC News reported. 

Various versions of the footage showed a Tuscaloosa Police officer fire a stun gun at one of the University of Alabama students while another officer beat him on the back with a baton while he was on the ground.

Tuscaloosa Police Chief Steve Anderson told a press conference Monday he was "deeply disturbed and disappointed by the way officers responded."

Police said they were called to the property because of a complaint about loud music Sunday morning. Three students were arrested in the incident, Anderson said. One is accused of harassment, obstructing justice and resisting arrest, and the other two each accused of obstructing justice and resisting arrest.
