how can "adults" who were supposed to have been trained to work with troubled kids... be so cruel?

This incident is a travesty and only proof that FL is NOT a state but rather America's Other Third World Neighbor! ;) Seriously though the replies here are at least as disturbing as the incident it's self. Unfortunately Americans are becoming desensitized to Authoritarian violence and abuse, I believe a sign of the acceptance of totalitarianism. The incidence of brutality by 'authority' i.e. the incident of police 'tasering' a mentally ill woman in a wheel chair for 165 seconds and her ensuing death from cardiac arrest (in Jackson, FL no less) and other occurrences should incite outrage, sadly it has been met with indifference or approval. It is a sad and scary time in America's history.

I agree, these people should do the time. What the
media is not saying- Charlie Crist the Governor gave
the parents five million and is trying to get them another five
million. Yes, I know money is not the same as having
your son back but I am just saying what he did. They
should pay the familes of everyone whose kids gets
beaten to death.
For the record though, there are good people here
and I do not agree with what that guy is calling it.
Things happen everywhere, not just Florida.

Nope.
I was not there. I did not see all the evidence presented. I have only seen sound bites on the news. I am not going to be drawn into the hype.
It's not about race and I'm not going to make it a race issue nor will I be ignorantly pulled in by soundbites. People seem to forget some of the defendants were black.
The jury saw all the evidence - they know the whole story - we don't - apparently the prosecution was not able to reach the legal standard of guilt and the jury ruled.
That's the neato thing about our legal system - the jury gets to sit and listen to all the evidence in a calm/controlled legal environment. We don't use a lynch mob mentality anymore!

Yes
The killing of this child ( I do not care hjow troubled he was) was avoidable.
The verdict ranks right up there with OJ getting away with murder.

to bad the kid died, but, he has an unknown medical condition, can't blame the officers for that.
