If i was fighting with the cop i think i would have bruises on the front side of my body.

Also, everything happen so fast. They used their batons obviously. And also their knees, fist, and mace.

Riverside police are known for beating people. Their dirty cops and are known to be worse then LA cops. The hospital i went to said theirs been a lot of this going around.. So im forwarding my pictures and information to some attornys here in california, asking for their opinion also. I hope in the end i get them.. because i didnt deserve this... I hurt, i can barly walk. It hurts to lay down, to even hold my neck up.
"They said I was resisting."

Were you resisting? Or were you so drunk you really don't remember? Because drunk folks, as you know, can be very belligerent, and depending on what your blood alcohol level was, you are going to have a very hard time proving that you were the victim and not the aggressor, especially if you don't have a clear memory of the event and if there are not videotapes of the altercation. Are there videotapes? If the officers stopped you with their cars, there likely are.

I'll give you a little link on defensive wounds here which includes bruising patterns. Those are typically on your forearms, hands and upper body, not your back. Being in a position where you sustained bruises on your back simply indicates the police had you positioned face down to try and subdue you, which is standard operating procedure for them. That they were trying to subdue you is how it will appear to any judge or jury who hears this case, too, although it's a huge stretch to think it'll ever see a courtroom, frankly.

As much as you may hate hearing this, any lawyer with sense is going to recognize a speeding/drunk driving case as an uphill battle in proving police brutality, no matter what the reputation of a particular police department is.

Are you getting some more concrete therapeutic help for yourself, BlazinIt, than just required, court-ordered AA attendance? You're really doing some self-destructive stuff right now if you're getting yourself arrested for DUI and getting into altercations with police officers like this. You're the one who's making those choices you're making, and as big a pain as it probably is to be told this, you're the only one who can change those choices and regain control of your life.
