Obviously, you and the cop have different versions of events. What evidence is available (witnesses? cameras?) and the circumstances will dictate the chances of success. Much more information about location, timing, and the details is necessary to advise you properly. You will need a lawyer to handle this case if you want to successfully defend yourself.
