If a police officer lied in a state criminal proceeding, did the officer also violate 18 U.S. Code § 242 -- Deprivation of Rights Under Color of Law , because the officer deprived the defendant's 6th amendment right to a fair trial?

Briscoe v. LaHue, 460 U.S. 325 (1983)

[32] Finally, in those cases in which the judicial process fails, the public is not powerless to punish misconduct. Like prosecutors and judges, official witnesses may be punished criminally for willful deprivations of constitutional rights under 18 U. S. C. § 242.

Does it conclude police perjury constitute 18 U.S. Code § 242 ?
