More details to this question:
In 2015 a lieutenant called me to talk to me in response to someone claiming that i was making threats. They talked mostly about the person who was alleging those threats being made. I really just listened and only responded when needed. After the conversation, the lieutenant went back and told the accuser that i had negative hings to say about that person, which is false. Is this police misconduct?

I don't believe it is actiomable police misconduct. I do believe it is poor police work. Unfortunately, the police are allowed to misrepresent things to us citizens but we are not allowed to do the same.
