Yes, a police officer is often the only witness to a crime such as disorderly conduct. It will be up to you or your attorney to cast doubt upon the officer's testimony in order to prevail at trial.

Caselaw would be found either online on a legal research engine or at your local law library. Do not expect an attorney to do research for you without charge as that is how an attorney earns his or her income.
