It started with an April 28 incident captured on-camera inside Citrus Center for Adolescent Treatment involving a 14-year-old patient who is a ward of the state and a Pembroke Pines police officer.

On the video, a female staff member can be seen poking the patient in the back as she's walking. When an officer grabs the patient's arm, she throws a punch. The officer then punches the patient straight in the face as two other officers look on.

If everyone was drugged governing would be easier.

Wonder if this was where they found Rachael Jeantel when the police had to go get her in Broward County, before her deposition in 2012 for the George Zimmerman trial? The location of where they found Jeantel was redacted in the documents

Are these "patients" with diagnosed mental illnesses, or juvenile delinquents with behavioral problems?

The current trend of turning defects of character into medical issues seems wrongheaded.
