http://www.dailykos.com/story/2015/01/28/1360798/-Police-Dogs-Turned-Loose-on-Restrained-University-Student#London Colvin, a junior at Norfolk State University and an Army Reservist, was at an off-campus party when things got out of hand. A fight broke out, and it was a large fight, reportedly involving 35 people according to the call to police. Colvin was not involved in the fight. Colvins cousin, Whitney Dunn, said Colvin tried to leave the party when police stopped the woman.
Colvin refused to answer any questions about the fight, instead only saying that she was not involved. The police restrained Colvin, then turned the police dogs on her:
Her and her friends continued to walk, and she said that she definitely continued to be loud, however, they were walking away. The two other police officers approached herasked her to stop. Whatever the case may be, they had her down on the ground when the dog came. Two of the police officers restrained her on the ground, and then they allowed the dogs to attack her, Dunn told Potomac Local....
We responded to a massive fight that happened in the street. Apparently there was a call for about 35 individuals who were partaking in a physical fight in the middle of the street, Hudson told Potomac Local. Once we have that multitude of people, we always have our canine officers respond out there with us for crowd management.

Here's a shocker: Norfolk State is a historically black institution.
