Cop Physically Abuses Man with Pistol in San Pedro

A police officer is tonight facing heavy public scrutiny after he kicked and hit a man over the head with his service weapon this weekend in San Pedro. The entire incident was captured on camera by a bystander. The officer identified as Devon Makin is said to be the son of a police officer and a close associate of the Commissioner of Police. Makin took to social media following public the backlash to say, “everybody knows me, I am a cool person but don’t get me the next side. Police got shot the other day and nobody said anything. Another mother cried; another son buried. I am sorry, I will do my job the way I think it is best for me to stay safe. Let them say whatever they want to say.” Police are yet to issue an official report on what preceded the events shown in the clip, and what consequences the officer will face, if any. Makin is also heard in the video commanding the individual with the camera not to video him. Contrary to Makin’s command, the Commissioner of Police has stated that it is not a crime to video record a police officer in the conduct of their duties. We will continue to follow this story.
