Court tomorrow for resisting arrest and disorderly conduct HELP?

Okay, on new years eve i went a lil crazy. I might have been intoxicated and got out of control, bt it wasnt intentional. See i went to this hookah bar after i left a house party, while i was there some ppl started to act crazy and the cops were called. My friend wanted us to leave so we left, bt b4 we did i realized i left my phone inside. Trying to get back in, the lady who works there stopped me and told me i wasnt allowed,even after i explained to her why i wanted to go in. She was being a total bxtch, so i started cursing and yelling @ her, i kinda dont remember most of what happened, but my friend told me the cop told me to leave a few times, but i refused. To make a long story short, the cop gave me one more chance, tell me y when i was about 2 leave i was told the officer grabbed me and slammed me against the concrete, i landed face first, and the other officer mased me in my face and all of a sudden they started to tell me to stop resisting!!! wtf is that?!? 1. he never told me i was under arrest 2. he came @ me outta nowhere 3. im a female, he didnt have to do all that! My question is i have court in the morning in the mayors office where the incident had occured, so am i in the wrong? i know im guilty of disorderly conduct, but not reisiting arrest, i couldnt breath b/c of the mase and i was in so much pain....basically, i didnt deserve to be beated up, i never touched the cop so i dont understand y he put his hands on me. Tooth #9 and #10 are slightly loose according to my dentist and i might have to have root canal therapy, my chin was scratched and knee was horribly bruised/swollen. I just noticed the officer wrote down 1/1/2010 in instead of 2011 does that make a difference @ all? please help!!!

Update:

Even though i might not remember most of what happened my friend was beside me the whole time and he was sober! He doesnt drink therefore he remembers everything that happened. The cop told me to leave, while my friend was looking for his car keys to let me in the car, the man came at me and slammed me to the ground w/o warning and the other cop ran over and mased me. He never once said i was under arrest, i made sure to ask my friend that, which is y i dont understand how i was resisting if i wasnt informed i was under arrest! p.s i didnt go to jail

    No one can help you but your attorney. Consult with your attorney. Resisting arrest and disorderly conduct is always a debatable offense. Constitutional rights generally allow us to be complete jerks before we cross the line into criminal conduct. Also, if you did in fact leave your property inside, you do have a limited right to reclaim your property. I think there are a lot of potential avenues a good defense attorney can explore.

    Yes, you were "in the wrong". Being female has nothing to do with it. You were acting crazy and it's very possible that you were so messed up you didn't understand that you were being arrested. That's not the cop's fault. You just admitted that you "kinda don't remember most of what happened" but you can be sure that the cops remember it very well, and they didn't have to give you one more chance. Maybe in the future you should avoid getting drunk. It sounds like you can't handle it.

    Most most probably you are going to simply be fined and must do group provider and write the prick cop an apology letter. I've been tased and crushed part to demise by means of four police officers while I used to be ten thousand% blameless. Never laid a pinky at the cop or yelled at him or some thing. Simply requested "why do I must get out of the vehicle?" I bought not anything for my bloody accidents and everlasting scars. Just group provider. My handiest cost used to be resisting arrest. I used to be used to be arrested for resisting arrest. Just exhibit up and get dressed up for courtroom and ensure you do your group provider and can prevent additional issues. The cop absolutely wont also be at courtroom. Usually once they beat the crap out of you in a have compatibility of pig rage- you simply get group provider and no probation. At least in my case.
