Legal Question in Criminal Law in Minnesota

Unlawful Assembly (609.705), Disorderly Conduct (609.72)

There was a riot at Minnesota State University in Mankato MN. At around 3:30AM I walked out of an apartment building where there was rioting happening. Everyone has basically disbanded and only riot police in the area walking around. Not participating in the riot or under any influence of any kind, I proceeded--name removed--walk from apartment that I was in--name removed--go--name removed--another apartment which was a friends apartment for the remainder of the evening/day. A friend was with me. While walking--name removed--the apartment we were approached by riot police, asked where we were going and then was told that we were going--name removed--jail. All we were doing was trying--name removed--get home. About 40 other people were arrested that night, most on similiar incident that they were just walking and trying--name removed--get home. Question is that should I get a PD or should I get a PA. Also I am absoulety certain that I commited no crime in walking on the sidewalk while trying--name removed--get home. I am wondering what i should do? Also I might quailify for a PD because I have no job.
