More details to this question:
back in February 2017, I had a dispute with my co-parent which involved me being arrested. however before my arrest, several witnesses identified my co-parent as the aggressor, however, the cop arrested me without getting statements from the witnesses and told me the reason he is arresting me is that of what he thought what happened even though he was not present. since then the case was settled and the cop admitted to lying on a police report about witness statements. what should i do here? can i file a lawsuit against either the officer or the police department?

If the officer ACTUALLY ADMITTED to lying on the report, then you might have something useful to work with. Otherwise this starts as the classic domestic dispute where parties want to sue everyone that doesnt go thier way, and as such you will likely spend a great deal of money on legal fees simply railing against the system but to little effect. If you had a crimnal defense lawyer involved - the best bet is to apporach them about such issues or possible a referal to a civil trial or civil rights lawyer.
