NJ: Jersey Cops Let K9 Maul Man to Death, Then Try to Steal the Video

A police dog tears apart an unarmed black man's face while officers watch.

Policing in this country really seems to be going to the dogs. Yes, that’s a silly euphemism, at least unless you live in Vineland, New Jersey. A video filmed a week ago Tuesday appears to show local police allowing a K9 dog to tear into the face of what looks to be an unarmed black man while he is curled up on the ground. The man, identified as 32-year-old Phillip White, later died while in police custody.​

That does NOT look like a "mauling death" to me. The article says he died of respiratory distress. I wouldn't be surprised if it turned out a drug overdose killed him, though there is no doubt that the police actions were downright bizarre.

It looked to me like they were encouraging the dog, and the dog was not all that into it (possibly because the perp was unconscious?)

Here is the full video, the guy filming has no problem telling the police what to do.

That is so stomach churning, imo. Have cops declared war on the general population of the US?
