It is about time that this happened to some lying fool who just wants to make the cops seem like the criminals. I am so tired of cops getting a black spot for doing their job. Take the people who are smearing their names and make an example of them .
Good job! How many more liars can be counter sued for their slander?

Three Houston police officers filed a lawsuit against the father of an NFL player and a community activist, accusing them of defamation, KPRC Local 2 reported Friday.
Marvin Driver, the father of Green Bay Packer Donald Driver, said the officers beat him and forced cocaine down his throat after a traffic arrest in November. He later held a news conference about the alleged incident with Quanell X, who was also named in the suit.
The officers said in the lawsuit that both men knowingly made false statements alleging the officers abused Driver.
"These individuals smeared our names, damaged our reputations and publicly humiliated ourselves and our family. We're delighted to have this opportunity to clear our names with this lawsuit," said officer Gilberto Cruz, a plaintiff. "We did not physically abuse Mr. Driver in any way. The accusations made by Mr. Driver and Quanell X were completely and utterly false."
An internal affairs investigation cleared the officers. On Jan. 9, the police union asked the district attorney to investigate Marvin Driver and others for perjury.
The officers are requesting unspecified damages in the civil suit.
