How many more before we say enough? I understand that some situations call for extreme measures, but some...not all.

Do you think there will ever come a time when American citizens, in a united movement, will take a stand against the forces that treat us like so much livestock? Will you join that movement?
Has mankind changed so much that it has lost its humanity? I'd like to think not, but I'm afraid it's so.
Thanks for listening to me ramble :)

The man, identified as Phillip White, was arrested at a home on the 100 block of Grape Street in Vineland, New Jersey around 11 a.m. Tuesday. He died shortly after while in custody.
Witnesses told NBC10 officers were extremely physical with White after he was already restrained and unconscious on the street.
"They punched him, stomped him, kicked him and then they let the dog out of the car," said Ricardo Garcia. "The dog bit him on his face and around his body. There's no call for that. Once a man is handcuffed and unconscious, you should have stuck him in the patrol car and take him to the police station. Instead they decided to beat him right here." ...

Another witness, Luis Martinez, also insisted White wasn’t doing anything wrong and that the officers used excessive force.
“The other cop let the dog out and they just kept punching him and the dog kept biting him at the same time,” Martinez said. “He was on the floor. Like, he was knocked out.”
