BIRMINGHAM, Ala. (AP) — An Alabama high school band director said Wednesday that he was just “doing my job” when police officers arrested him and shocked him with a stun gun after he refused to immediately stop the band as it played in the bleachers following a football game. Just totally confused because I was pretty much doing my job, and I hadn't done anything wrong. Police body camera footage released Monday shows Mims being arrested and repeatedly shocked in a chaotic scene that included students screaming. In the body camera footage, officers are seen approaching Mims as the band plays in the stands. The Alabama Education Association, which represents teachers and other public school employees, said it was asking the school system to let Mims return to work.
