San Diego Sheriff Deputy Beat-Pepper Spray Man
**Fight Censorship on YouTube** San Diego, CA -- Antonio Martinez, 21, developmentally disabled, and weighs 158 pounds, stands 4 feet, 11 inches tall. He was out walking between his home and the bakery (his family owns) when a San Diego Sheriff deputy called out to him, at which point neighborhood men explained that the young man had Down Syndrome and wasn #39;t doing anything wrong, according to Jessica Martinez. The deputy didn #39;t back off. Instead, while trying "to gain compliance and prevent a possible escape," he used pepper spray on Antonio Martinez. His eyes stinging with pepper spray, the developmentally disabled 21-year-old man was then hit (with a baton) and forced to the ground before being taken into custody by San Diego County Sheriff #39;s deputies. Martinez was taken to a hospital and detained for possible obstruction of justice, but there was no citation or charge filed on that or other counts. He was taken to Tri-City Medical Center in Oceanside, California, where Jessica Martinez and her father found him with scratches but no broken bones. The family asked to take Antonio home from the hospital, but a sheriff #39;s deputy refused, Jessica Martinez said. It wasn #39;t until around 11:30 that night -- at the Sheriff #39;s Department, after being brought back from the hospital -- that he was released, she said. "But really, all we want is for the sheriff #39;s deputy who did this to my brother to get fired," Jessica Martinez, 20, said. "That #39;s all we want. We want justice."
