Three HPD officers accused of beating the father of an NFL player were cleared by Internal Affairs last week after evidence proved inconsistencies in the statements given by the complainant.  The HPOU was confident from day one that the officers had not beaten and forced cocaine down the complainant's throat as he alledged.  HPOU President Gary Blankinship made it clear that persons falsely accusing HPD officers will be held accountable in this case and any future cases.  Unfortunately, these officers had to endure over a month of stress while these bogus claims were investigated.
