Default Traffic Stop on Unlicensed Driver Erupts into Confrontation for Deputy

VISTA ---- Seven people were arrested and one person was shocked with a stun gun Tuesday morning after a disruptive crowd tried to prevent a deputy from citing a man for a traffic violation, authorities said.

A San Diego County sheriff's deputy pulled over a vehicle with two men inside at 7:40 a.m. after he saw the vehicle violate a traffic law near the 200 block of Civic Center Drive, Lt. Jim Duffy said.

The driver, who was later identified as Ismael Martinez, 51, did not have a license, and neither did his passenger, Francisco Martinez, Sgt. Mike Arens said.

The driver began calling people to come to the scene while the deputy was ticketing him, Duffy said. The driver refused to stop calling people and struck the deputy on the hand, he said.

The deputy was arresting the driver when the passenger got out of the car and attacked the deputy, Arens said. The three struggled.

A tow truck driver who was standing nearby jumped into the fight to help the deputy, Duffy and Arens said. The deputy used his stun gun to shock the passenger during the struggle.

More deputies came to help control the situation and finish the arrests, Arens said.

A few minutes later, about 25 people showed up in response to the driver's earlier phone call, Arens said. Most of them were men and appeared to be the driver's relatives.

The people were disruptive and tried to free the driver, but they quickly dispersed and moved to the other side of the street once the deputies started arresting people, the officials said.

Raul Martinez, 25; Alfredo Martinez, 27; Jorge Martinez, 20; Fernando Martinez, 26; and Aldo Martinez, 22, were arrested on suspicion of crimes including refusing to disperse, inciting a riot, assaulting a peace officer and criminal threats, Arens said.

The passenger was taken to a hospital for treatment of his injuries, then booked into Vista Detention Center, Arens said.

The first deputy suffered minor injuries, but he was not taken to a hospital, Arens said.

He said no one else was hurt.

This is part of the 'flash mob' mentality. I think it will occur more in the future. I hope the actions of the police in this case made an impression on the relatives.

Most of us who have been active at DL sites already know about mobs of illegals and their betheren.
Did anyone see that video from the SF Bay area where a mob was attacking cops? Illegals will be learning from the home grown mobs too.

This is the mind set that "If there's enough of us, we don't have to follow the law" and that has been working for them in the recent past. Remember the protest at Lamerk Park where those with a permit were arrested because there were more of the attackers and the police cowered when presented with the numbers?

Gang mentality. Expect to see more of it as things get worse. Society has excused such behavior as 'they're poor' or 'they haven't had the opportunities that others have had' and given them a pass. Now they feel empowered and form group solidarity because it's working so well. And if the police step one inch over the line, they'll be punished for it.

The old saying "Give them an inch, they'll take a yard" is so true.

I thought it was "Give them an inch, and they'll think they're a ruler".

I've never heard it said that way but it sure works.
