Antonio MartinezAntonio Martinez was just walking between his
home and the bakery his family owns in Vista, California, when a
San Diego sheriff’s deputy decided to stop him and ask him about a
domestic violence incident. A neighbor tried to explain that
Martinez has
Down syndrome and wasn’t doing anything wrong, but the deputy
then pepper sprayed and struck Martinez with a baton. Deputies took
him into custody for possible obstruction of justice. But they
released him without filing charges.
