HPOU lawsuit appears to be moving forward
KPRC reports that the Houston Police Officers Union is ready to proceed with a lawsuit against Marvin Driver and Quanell X for slandering Houston Police Officers. The lawsuit could be filed next week according to the article. This will be the first time I know of that Quanell's posturing will have landed him in court on the receiving end of a lawsuit. The HPOU also sent a letter to District Attorney Pat Lykos asking for an investigation of Mr. Driver for false reporting. There is an interesting line about former DA Rosenthal's policy of not prosecuting anyone for false allegations against police officers. While Rosenthal was probably checking emails many officers lost their livelihood, lost money, and lost their reputations defending themselves against false complaints only to be cleared with scant notice in the media. It will be interesting for us to watch Quanell actually have to take responsibility for his actions for once.
