INDIANAPOLIS P D OFFICER SUES NFL FOR DEFAMATION

by Bob Walsh

About 13 months ago Dreasjon Reed was terminally rehabilitated during an exchange of gunfire following a police chase with, among other people, Officer De'Joure Mercer.  The local D.A. and the Indiana State Police both said it was a good shooting.  The local Grand Jury examined the matter and refused to indict Mercer.  Never the less a series of social media posts put out by the NFL accused Officer Mercer of criminal activity and misconduct relating to the shooting.

Therefore Officer Mercer decided to sue the NFL, the Indianapolis Colts, and NFL Enterprises alleging defamation resulting in Mercer being the target of hatred and scorn within the community.  The suit is seeking unspecified damages.
