Donald Driver's dad beaten by Houston police after dispute

[Keith]

Update on this story...

But an internal affairs probe released says the officers did not beat Driver, and they were cleared.

Now the union is going after the man who made the allegations. ...

Blankenship is asking the district attorney’s office to investigate Driver for perjury, a criminal charge that could land him behind bars.

There have been recent stories where Jose Cruz Jr., son of the Astros' icon, and the son of former MLB star Bobby Tolan have both had problems with the HPD. CNN implies this is a systemic problem of racial profiling among the Houston police.

I do not think it is racial profiling. Brandon Backe also had problems with Galveston police. I think it is a combination of expected celebrity privledge and resentment on the part of the police.

Bottom line is, just because you or someone you know is a famous athlete or celebrity does not mean you can't have your head busted for acting like an idiot. Also, just because you have a badge and pistol does not mean that you can whip up on people for no good reason.
