Murder in the Name of Justice?

I have just watched video footage on CBS News of a murder. There is no other word for it. 14-year-old Martin Anderson was shown being beaten to death by uniformed persons in a Boot Camp in Florida.
Florida, note, in the United States of America - land of the free. Not a fascist regime, not an extremist tin-pot country - or is it?
There they send young kids to a "camp" (for camp read jail) where they are subjected to strict discipline. Now that, you may say is a good thing. Teach them respect for their fellow man. Teach them values. Teach them not to misbehave again. But where do you draw the line between discipline and abuse?
The video quite clearly shows extreme violence being meted out on the lad. He was held tightly and unable to defend himself while several uniformed people laid into him with fists, boots and clubs. Martin was seen to collapse. The next shot we see is half-an-hour later as he is being rushed into an ambulance. He died the next day in hospital. The authorities claimed his death was due to internal bleeding brought on by sickle cell disease. Whether or not that is true - and it is disputed by Martin's parents - I'm sure the severe beating captured on the video clip didn't help matters. Don't they check the health of the inmates in these establishments? Who made a cock-up there then? Should we blame the camp medical officer for not spotting the risks there?
The bloke in charge of the camp is full of self-righteousness. He looks an over-fed, self-opinionated slob. He is full of defence for the actions of his staff. He is Right! Everyone else is Wrong. I expect when he prays he says "Lord, look at me - a model of righteousness and upstanding citizenship." He claims an 80 per cent success rate for his establishment. I wonder how he measures his success? Is it by the number of people he subdues into total submission to the cruel regime at the camp? Does he instill the fear of death - literally - into the inmates?
Whatever his misdemeanours Martin did not deserve to die - especially in such a cruel way. Thuggery should not be made legal by wearing a prison warder's uniform. These thugs would be hauled before the courts and imprisoned if they did the self-same act on the streets. Goodness knows, if you beat a dog like that you would be imprisoned and castigated by your fellows.
Perhaps charges will be brought but I doubt it. Even if they are brought I suspect that twelve good Southerners and true would come down on the side of the State and its employees.
Once again the finger of justice is pointed at the American way of life. Too many times accusations of injustice can be levelled at the "land of the free".
Free to beat youngsters to death.
Free to live in a police state.
Free to invade who the hell they like.
And we all submit because they are bigger than us and Might is Right.
Bollocks.
