You may have a civil rights violation under these circumstances. This is a complex legal issue, but in layman's terms it comes down to "reasonableness". How reasonable was the action of the police officer? Excessive force and police brutality claims are fact-specific. And facts are always disputed and subject to differing interpretation. Was there a video? Were you or the witnesses inebriated? These and many other factors will have to be investigated. I strongly urge you to contact a lawyer for a consultation to review your legal rights.
