please help,should I press charges,my friends say yes and my mom said it will just cause problems?

I went out with some friends the other night and one of my friends got really drunk,I was tring to get her out of the bar,the cops showed up and asked me to leave I told them I had to get my friend first,they grabed me and told me no I don't have to get her and they started pushing me,I had on 5in. heels and as I was walking toward the door they told me to walk faster and then pushed me down onto the ground,they then grabed me up and told me that I was under arrest,they slammed me onto a table and mased me for no reason,when we get to the police station I could not see at this time,so asked them if I could wash my face,I have on 5in. heels,my hands are cuffed behind my back,I can't see and I don't know my way around,I am walking slowly to the bathroom one cop yells at me and tells me to hurry up,I told him i'm going as fast as I can I don't know where I am going,he then grabbed me by my arms and picked me up,called me a stupid idiot and said he would show me how it is done.

Yes I was drinking,but I didn't have that many because I had to drive. The cop are always at bar when they close here so that they can pull people over.Yes my story is true and I didn't know that water would make my eyes burn,I didn't know anything about mase.I couldn't see because the mase was in my eyes,I couldn't open my eyes it hurt really bad.I did not cus or fight the cops,I did what they told me to,they were just really mean and I don't know why.I don't ever get in trouble,I have no record with the police,I don't do things that will get you in trouble.I don't hardly ever go out,once every 2-3 months,I'm always at home with my kids or I'm taking them to do something-go to the movies,park,chuckie cheese etc.I haven't pressed charges because1.it was sunday the next day2.I don't know where to go or who to talk to about this3. my mom has me scared,she said that the cops will harass me and that they will get away with it. I'm just not sure what to do I was just wanting some opinions.

Me thinks your friend wasn't the only one drinking. Perhaps you have selective remembering.

The word is "mace".

I am sure that your story is true but you should at least think about how the police are going to tell their side of the story. Pressing charges may cause trouble but it will not "just cause trouble". You may end up not getting any satisfaction from the police. But those charges will be on the record and, if something like this happens again....

I'm skeptical of your story. Why couldn't you see at the police station? What were the cops doing at the bar to begin with? IF your story is true, you should. Check the bar for video surveillance tapes, get witnesses (there should if it was at the bar. At the least the charges should be dropped.

well I Will start off by saying i do not believe you unless you have witnesses or surveillance tape you are wasting your time, also you really do not want to put water on your eyes if you have been pepper sprayed, i do not see how you could not see after that long, unless you had contacts in, aside from that if you were in a bar, with a bunch of people the cops are not that stupid to "mess" you up in front of all those witnesses for no reason

When a police officer gives you a direct order to leave you leave. You cannot resist the order because you think you have to help your friend.

Jail is not suppose to be a nice place.

Sounds like a spoiled girl had her evening ruined.

I bet the story is a LOT different from the sober people .
