US police sued for beating man with Down syndrome

The San Diego County Sheriff's Department is facing a lawsuit from the family of a young man with Down syndrome who was brutalized by a deputy.

According to the lawsuit filed Thursday, Deputy Jeffrey Guy attacked 21-year old Antonio Tony Martinez with pepper spray and batons in December 2012.
The deputy confronted Martinez , who has the mental capacity of a 7-year-old, and “unloaded a canister of highly irritating pepper spray into Tony’s face and eyes,” then drove him to the ground and beat him with a baton.
The complaint says Martinez suffered “facial abrasions to his nose and over his eye, and leg, arm and back pain with contusions.”
