Video emerges of Tuscaloosa cop reportedly beating and tasering Alabama student

Several disturbing videos emerged on social media over the weekend showing police violently arresting University of Alabama students at an off-campus apartment in Tuscaloosa.

In one four-minute long video uploaded by YouTube user Jim Schwartz we see one student telling the officer that he is illegally entering their apartment. The description explains the police were responding to a noise complaint call.

The students argue with the officer before he tells the student he is under arrest — but doesn't specify the charges.

The Tuscaloosa police responded to the videos on Twitter Sunday evening:

Another video uploaded by John James shows officers pulling two students out of the apartment. One of them is hit with a Taser and then thrown to the ground where he is beaten by officers as they try to arrest him. The other student is thrown to the ground next to him.

A third video shows a woman being pushed to the ground as police jump on top of her.

Twitter erupted over the videos, condemning police actions against the students:

And a student who posted one of the videos said, "Tuscaloosa Police proving once again they view UA students as nothing but a nuisance."

The Tuscaloosa Police Department has posted a statement on its Facebook page about the video. It reads:
