Police Admit Fault for Beating & Kidnapping Man with Down Syndrome, Refuse to Apologize
http://thefreethoughtproject.com/police-admit-fault-refuse-publicly-apologize-beating-man-syndrome/Antonio Martinez is 22 years old, but doctors say he has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old.
Sheriff’s Deputy Jeffrey Guy was unfazed by the fact that Martinez has down syndrome, and it didn’t stop this cop from beating the 4? 11?, 158 pound man during an unlawful detainment.
Guy stopped Martinez for the “crime” of pulling up the hood on his black hooded sweatshirt.
Now, in newly released video recording’s of Officer Guy and Captain Joe Rodi’s video depositions, the department is admitting their fault, but still refuse to make a public apology.
