Yet another unarmed black man brutally killed by NJ cops

"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."

Officially, this is the 290th person killed by cops in the US this year (span of 90 days).
