Legal Question in Civil Rights Law in Kansas

Have i been unlawfully arrested? on the 4th of October I decided to hang out with an old highschool friend because it's been awhile but before I headed over to his place I took out $390 from an ATM (300 for bills I was gonna pay and 90 for luxury). I put 90 of it in my wallet and the 300 in the pocket inside my pants right pocket. I went over to his house and another one of his friends showed up not too long l8r already having been drinking and with more beers in her car. They talk me into buying a bottle of liquer so we went to the nearest liquer store where I spent 20 on sum Bacardi rum. So now I have 70 in my wallet. We get back to his place where we play poker for sum time. I only had two shots, he hadn't drank anything, and she has had like 4 or 5 beers by that time. My pal decides he wants to go pick sum1 else so he talks me and his other pal to going with him. He's driving, she's passenger, and I'm in the back calling/or texting the other guy we're picking up but before we pick him up my old highschool buddy starts throwing a wild childishtantrum about something small and stupid (which he is known for going crazy over stupid things). So I try and calm him down but he attacks me, I let him attack me given that I'm a pacifist but then he gets outa the car and keeps going at me so I push him off, he leaves cursing and yelling at me to walk home. So I'm left there now without a phone because I must have dropped it in the middle of using it before he attacked me. So I decide to start heading towards some of the open shops in the distance so I could arrange a ride for me, but before I'm even able to get much further my name is yelled out and I turn around only to be surprised by the immoderate lights of a police car and sirens. Officer gets out while two other police cars come out of nowhere. They start questioning me if I was in a fight, I say no but I was in an argument where I was kicked out of a vehicle and left here. They ask me whom I was with but I wouldn't tell them because I felt like being nice to my old pal; he was in jail not too long ago and has just barely goth off probation. Officer asked me what I was doing so I told him I was trying to arrange a ride for myself and asked him that now that he was there if he could give me a ride or let me use his phone he said no because I was being detained. He then asked what we were up to before this, I let him kno that we were just picking sum1 up and head back to his place, but would try again to see if he would aid me but he seemed determined to find something. They held me there for a long time and as i kept trying to ask why i was being detained and try to get them to see that i hadnt done ahything wrong they begun to yell at me to shut up becasue i wasnt making any sense. They arrest me with public intoxication without breathalizing me nor even drawing blood, they take me to the city jail where they put me on suicide watch for 18 hours (which I had no idea till I was released and I don't think half the officers knew Either because before releasing me they were wondering why I wasn't in a pickle suit and I kept asking why I was even on it because I had done nor said anything to get me on suicide watch). When they came at me with my materials list the 300 was not listed and I kit telling the, that I had it but the keys saying that i didn't. In those 18 hours I didnt get food because they only served ham sandwiches (I'm allergic to pork) and I let them know but they said they weren't going to get me anything else. After I got out i went to his house for my phone and he apoligizes for wht hes done except for the money part, he just says srry aboutthe money without me having tell him anying about it yet? I also learn that he somehow got a few things out of the blue. So basically this guy beats me out of the car and jacks me gets away and the victim is arrested, what can I do about this?
