Go to the police station to pick up a grievance form. Calm yourself down before you write about the incident. Do some research on your civil rights, you may find more alternatives to check off in the investigation request
Swear your statement
Turn it in, but not without asking for a receipt. They "misplace" them, you know?
Wait, for Internal Affairs to tell you that they found NO evidence to back up your claim. Which they will, unless you have everything on tape.
Send a note to the major of the town, legislators, expressing your disappointment. They will do nothing, but your words are documented. The press may not do anything unless you have a tape. The cops give them fresh scoop to the news, and they need them, you know?
So, what justice will you get? Probably none, if you have no tape. But still you must add your written statement to the cop's file.
Afterwards, just keep lobbying to raise awareness about their corruption, and promote change. When you see cops grieving for the death of one of their "brave officer" killed on duty, you'll know better about what led a vigilante to take action.

Every Sheriff's Department has an Internal Affairs Division to handle complaints against officers. File your complaint there. If the "brutality" involves a physical injury, keep photographs and your medical records and see an attorney. If the "malicious prosecution" means you were actually "prosecuted" and taken to court, then wait for the outcome of that case.
If you are found guilty, then forget everything above, serve your time and move on with life.

You can always go to the District Attorney's office. But don't be afraid to go to the Sheriff's Office itself. Almost any law enforcement outfit of any size has some sort of internal affairs mechanism. Internal Affairs is hardcore in almost all police departments. They want to weed out the bad apples. Go to the cops first and file an official complaint and document everything. Your evidence and who you talked to and what they said. However, IF, and this is a big IF, you have not been an upstanding citizen, IF you have been arrested for possession or using, or selling, or being an all-around knucklehead, you won't have a leg to stand on. No one cares if a cop plays a tune on your noggin with his nightstick because you're not worth arresting. Just a hunch, but I'm guessing you're on a first name basis with every deputy in your area...Like I said, just a hunch.

You need to consult with a lawyer about something like that. It's pretty difficult to prove such things, and you need professional advice.

You don't stand a chance filing anything with their department. If you have proof of your allegations, talk to a lawyer about filing suit. Watch your back.
