Well it could go either way without proof. Devon could be rightfully put in jail. And job done. Idk about beating him unless there was resist. But this isn’t the first time police abuse power or get away with it. Police get benefits on everything. I don’t know why having a uniform makes a difference from the next guy carrying a gun. How many licks does it take? lol the world may never know

U know wat I am a 14 year old and I think this man could be lying or telling the truth.. But sadly no one know that yet.. I mean.. Idk.. Ever one needs to.relax.. Things like this happen almost all the time.. But it still isn’t and excuse to behave this way people do stupid things.. People have to understand that.. Not everyone is gonna act nor think like u..

Continued.. so the phone went missing… which by the way the accusers brother roomate ended up having the phone it was never stolen just misplaced. I’m sure there was some aggression because of this misunderstanding. However, the truth is that the cops were called and they detained devon which did not steal a phone or have a gun then put him in hand cuffs making him defenseless as they beat him almost to death while his wife watched in fear of being done the same way. Some people dont have to deal with this ever in life so its understood how ignorance in this case can be bliss because you’ve never experienced such discrimination… its real it happens and cops have to be held responsible. They cant just get paid time off. I promise devon will win the case and unfortunately our tax dollars will pay for it because the police did not follow protocol need advanced training and did not have there dash cams on.. / would have been much cheaper than the lawsuit he’ll get. Devon is innocent and all will soon see the truth.

Truth is that the only person that claimed to see the gun is the same person that was kicked out of o Riley’s night club right before inviting everyone else to their house to continue the party. Devon walker did not know anyone of these individuals and simply went with a someone he was with. The person he was with (believed to be his brother) was an associate to the accusers from previous outings. My understanding is that the homeowners as a couple were throwing around iphone 5s literally on the.ground to prove the otter box worked so well

Dash cam may not work because the sheriffs office keeps getting denied raises so in order to keep police on the road protecting citizens of escambia county they make cuts in other areas..like keeping the older patrol cars supplied with working cameras…the cuts have to be made somewhere…people aren’t randomly chosen to go to jail..they break the law and witnesses provide statements to police to help decide who committed a crime so blame them if you are upset that an upstanding citizen went to jail and god forbid he gets thrown to the ground when there is an accusation a gun is involved….

It’s sad how ignorant people are acting! I’m praying for this family and I pray that the truth comes out. I don’t for a second believe that this family is lying. I fully believe that any person who witnessed the police brutally beat an unarmed man would lie and and give false statements if told to do so by the very same police department that beat the man to start with. People need to rise up. I don’t care what color you are ! I don’t care what color I am ! However I do care if my head gets stepped on to the point that it cause the injuries this young man received! This was a clear case of excessive force. And for everyone buying the he had a gun crap… Take brain cell A and brain cell B and rub them together. This cause’s friction and may help with you thought process! If the man had a gun things would have been different point blank starting with Mr Walker being arrested the night of the incident not two weeks later also. When the truth comes out there will be people on this who should apologize to the walker family but I’m sure they won’t and that is truly sad. This could have been anyone of us. Color should have no bearing on this. A dirty cop is a dirty cop. And any police officer who has takin the oath to serve and protect should do what right and tell the truth because this reeks of corruption and cover up

The original police report says that only one person (the upset person) claims to have seen a gun. If this case was so cut and dry why didn’t they arrest him the night of the incident. The police report does state that the dash cam didn’t work and the other officer doesn’t have one.
