Legal Question in Personal Injury in Colorado

Nightclub security assault?

I was recently at a Denver nightclub. I was intoxicated, had no run ins with club patrons or workers while inside. I know when to say when and when it's time to go home. I was outside the club with a friend on the sidewalk trying to get a cab, not talking to anyone other than my friend. club bouncers asked me to move b/c a burrito vendor wanted to set up shop where i was standing. my friend and i responded that ''it's a public sidewalk, we're trying to get a cab home, we're not bothering anyone.'' asked us to move again, saying we were interfering with the burrito lady who was trying to set up on the sidewalk. i refused saying i'm getting a cab and going home, my friend and i were taken to the ground and put in a choke hold. we did not initiate physical violence nor did we try to strike the bouncers back. the police were called, i was cufffed. police didn't ask me ANY thing. i asked specifically if i was being arrested, ''yes, get in the car'' i asked what the charges were. no response, no rights read. i was taken to detox, i wasn't ''arrested, i wasn't charged'' but i still have to pay $275. should i drop this and let it be and feel lucky that nothing is going on my record? or should i file a complaint against the club bouncers?
