Police in Tuscaloosa are under scrutiny after video of them using a stun gun and baton in an incident involving University of Alabama students went viral.  It happened early Sunday.  It shows police arguing with students in an apartment.  When the occupants refuse to leave, police storm in and drag out two men and woman.  A police officer can be seen using the stun gun on one man.  Another officer hits the man repeatedly with the baton.  We talk about the situation and police response with Alabama Media Group columnist John Archibald.
