The Raw Story

A California family filed suit in Vista Superior Court Thursday alleging that in December of 2012, county sheriff’s deputies brutalized their son and brother, 21-year-old Antonio Martinez, who has Down Syndrome and functions at the level of a 7-year-old.

The San Diego Union-Tribune reported that Martinez’s two sisters and father are suing for unspecified damages, alleging battery, negligence, false arrest, civil rights violations, and emotional distress.

On the night of December 18, 2012, Deputy Jeffrey Guy was responding to a domestic disturbance call when he caught sight of Martinez, who was flipping up the hood of his sweatshirt while walking to his family’s bakery.

Guy ordered the 4-foot-11 Martinez to stop, but Martinez continued to walk in the direction of the bakery. According to the lawsuit, Guy then confronted Martinez 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 tactical baton.

Woman Kidnapped, Strip Searched, and Thrown in a Cage for an Unpaid Parking Ticket — video included

The nature of the state is simple; with a monopoly on the use of force, your compliance with their laws, no matter how arbitrary, will be mandated and upheld with the threat or use of violence.

The police, while ostensibly there for you protection, is a facet of this institution reliant on the use of violence to maintain its monopoly. The majority of police departments have become nothing but revenue collection agencies, enforcing arbitrary laws written for victimless crimes.

Consider this example, while it may sound extreme, it is the standard procedure of the escalation of violence to achieve state compliance. A police officer, also known as revenue collection agent, sees you without your seat-belt on. You are pulled over and told that you must now pay them money as the state claims the ability to steal money from yo

u for capricious reasons that they refer to as “laws.”

If you refuse to be extorted in such an overt manner and do not pay this racketeering gang of thieves, their next step is to elevate their use of force; you will now be kidnapped and thrown in a cage.

When these armed thugs bust into your home in the middle of the night to kidnap you for not paying them because they saw you without your seat-belt on, and you resist, they will assert their ‘just authority’ and end your life.

As you lie there in a pool of you and your spouse’s blood, the last thought that goes through your head is, “Wow, these guys are really adamant about stealing money from folks for not causing harm to anyone.”

Yes it seems wild and crazy, but the reality of the situation remains; the escalation of violence is the only means by which the state maintains its “authority” over you and forces your compliance.
